Don't forget Jewish MPs

Editor: I just wanted to clear up a few points in Mr. Goldman's article in a recent paper in which I was quoted. ("Jews and politics do mix," Bulletin Opinion, Jan. 24) It is important to be aware that there are a number of Jewish members of Parliament, particularly Irwin Cotler (Mount Royal), Minister of National Revenue Elinor Caplan (Thornhill) and Anita Neville (Winnipeg South Centre).

It is very important that we acknowledge the work of Jewish parliamentarians regardless of the party they support. If individuals contact their members of Parliament on subjects relating to Jewish causes or Israel, copies should be sent to Jewish members of Parliament as well. We should make their jobs easier not harder.
