Dear Constituents of Chatham-Kent-Essex...

December 14, 2006

As we spend time with our families at Christmas and ring in the New Year, I would like to extend my best wishes to you and yours for a happy and healthy 2007.

This is also an opportunity to take a moment to inform you all about the accomplishments of Canada’s New Government on accountability, opportunity and security, strengthened families and communities. Though we have a lot of work ahead we will continue to stand up for Canada regarding these key promises made in the last election.

Please take the time to browse my revamped website, as it will provide you with the latest government announcements and information on the work that I am doing in Ottawa and Chatham-Kent-Essex.

Do not hesitate to contact me at my Ottawa, Chatham and Leamington offices as my professional and experienced staff will assist you with any matter related to government services. Please write to me expressing your thoughts and concerns on the issues that matter to you, as I appreciate receiving your correspondence and will continue to provide you with timely responses.

Thank you for your support and encouragement over the year. I look forward to continuing to serve you as your Member of Parliament.

Sincerely,

Dave Van Kesteren, MP
