They ideally should be on our website, or on the cfstruth.ca website which we run, and I'll see if we can't do that asap. We're not trying to hide anything at all from anyone. As the original mover of the motion approved by KSA's council last year, to move forward with a petition to the Supreme Court of BC asking them to clarify the law on whether or not the CFS can pick and choose a representative, I did so because our Policy Analyst at the time, Titus Gregory, had reported to council that the KSA was no longer receiving any official communication about when CFS executive committee meetings and other events were happening. Very early on after students approved to stay in the CFS, the CFS-BC component kept rattling on about how they didn't want the student's chosen representative to be at the table. It's part of Derek's job, as per our bylaws and regulations, to represent students to the CFS. If Derek quits tomorrow and Sally becomes Director of External Affairs, then it will be her job to go represent the KSA to the CFS. What the CFS is trying to do here is wrong. What would people think if Stephen Harper refused to recognize the elected opposition? Aside from the fact that there is no legal way he could ever do that, the people wouldn't like it. They would raise hell about it. And that's what we are trying to do here. - Steve Lee, Director of Finance / Chairperson, KSA I just want to make it very clear that the court documents are available for anyone to see – from the Provincial Court Registry – or to make life easier, contact our General Manager, Desmond Rodenbour at gm@kusa.ca , and I’m sure he could either e-mail you a copy or arrange to have you come into the office to look at the submissions.

You said, a year and a half ago, that you wanted to work with Kwantlen students. So we voted to stay in the CFS, and you said "Well, not just *any* Kwantlen student, we're gonna pick someone we like." Oh Shamus.
