Falk said that the government’s continuing focus is on the economy. Since being introduced, Falk has had been assigned to two important parliamentary committees, Canadian Heritage and Public Accounts. In terms of the Conservative Party, Falk reiterated the importance of unity and teamwork. Manitoba National Councillor Wayne Benson, Financial Agent Jon Penner and association President Amos Wiebe also gave reports.
It was clear that enthusiasm for Ted Falk and the Conservative Party was high. The number of members on the board of directors grew from 16 to 25 members, an increase of 56%. “This is very encouraging,” said Amos Wiebe, “This board is very diverse with membership from all across Provencher. We will have new perspectives and new voices in our deliberations. That makes for a stronger association.” Wiebe also noted that a 56% increase in board membership is unusual for the association and demonstrates the support of the riding for Ted Falk, “Ted is doing a great job as our MP. He is very busy in all parts of the riding and is a wonderful voice for Provencher in Ottawa.”
A short Board of Directors meeting was held after the AGM to elect the executive for 2014. The elected members of the executive are President, Amos Wiebe, Vice President, Michael Zwaagstra, Financial Agent, Jon Penner, and Secretary, Travis Boehr.
