| Whereas | The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America has chartered Locals and District Councils in all parts of Canada, as well as Provincial Councils in most Provinces; and |
| Whereas | Federal and Provincial legislative programs are more now than ever having an, and in most instances an adverse, impact upon the United Brotherhood's members in Canada; and |
| Whereas | The Canadian Building Trades Conferences and the Canadian Congress conventions are adopting policies and actions which also have a direct impact upon the United Brotherhood in Canada; and |
