Hon. Demetrios Nicolaides, B. A., M. P. S., Ph. D., ECA, MLA, Minister of Education, United Conservative, Calgary-Bow

Dear Demetrios:

A reminder that once Liberal Leader & Prime Minister The Rt. Hon. Mark Carney, PC drops the writ, Conservative Leader & Leader Of His Majesty's Loyal Official Opposition The Hon. Pierre Poilievre, PC & all parliamentarians will cease to be "Members Of Parliament" or "MPs." It is at this stage that free mailing privileges to The House Of Commons/Parliamentary/Constituency offices are suspended through Canada Post, & thus normal postage rates apply.

The fine folks in these offices still work on constituency/non-partisan matters that may come up in a writ scenario (such as later today) still handle things such as mail so its better to address your letters to the MPs who just vacated their seats upon parliament's dissolution. So it is better to write to as an example:

Office Staff, Carleton Constituency Parliament Hill Office, House Of Commons, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6

Office Staff, Carleton Constituency Office, 1139 Mill Street, Manitock, Ontario K4M 1A5

As for emails, cabinet order-in-council ministry emails such as Pm@Pm.Gc.Ca for the Prime Minister stay in place. As do shadow cabinet emails for Opposition members. However, generally, emails such as pierre.poilievre@parl.gc.ca are suspended/taken offline as the 338 Members aren't MPs (not forgetting that there are 343 seats for this new parliament, so 172 or more seats for a majorative mandate to be the next His Majesty's Government.) As such it is good to arrange with these staffers alternate emails to contact them with.

A further point, The Governor-General & the Senate Of Canada are appointed positions, so the free mailing privileges to them continue unabated, year round. With the exception of the recent Canada Post strike situation.

Her Excellency The Rt. Hon. Governor-General Mary Simon, C. C., C. M. M., C. O. M., O. Q., C. D., PC, Rideau Hall, 1 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A1 or Info@Gg.Ca

Senator Paula Simons, B. A. (Honours), M. Of Journalism, Senate Of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A4 or Paula.Simons@Sen.Parl.Gc.Ca

Thomas D'Arcy McGee,

Rory
