      Dear

      As

      of

      Federation
      of
      Students/Canadian
      Federation

      would

      from
      cover
      to
      cover.
      “STUDENT
      voice”
      is
      our
      way
      of
      letting
     
     
      you,
      our
      membership,
      know
      what
      te
      national
      student
      organization
      is
      doing
      to
     
     
      improve
      the
      quality
      of
      student
      life
      on
      Canadian
      campuses
      from
      coast
      to
      coast.
     
     
      The
      Federation
      represents
      over
      400,
      000
      post-secondary
      students
      from
      St
     
     
      John’s,
      Newfoundland
      to
      Victoria,
      British
      Columbia.
      You,
      as
      an
      individual
      member,
     
     
      are
      represented
      by
      your
      student
      association
      at
      our
      General
      Meetings
      twice
      ayear.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      Canadian
      Federation
      of
      Students
      is
      YOUR
      national
      student
      organization.
     
     
      Our
      ultimate
      goal
      is
      to
      achieve
      a
      post-secondary
      education
      system
      which
      is
      fully
     
     
      accessible
      and
      of
      high
      quality.
      The
      Federal
      government
      has
      an
      enormous
      role
      in
     
     
      post-secondary
      education
      by
      virtue
      of
      the
      federal-provincial
      funding
      arrangements.
     
     
      The
      federal
      transfer
      payments
      to
      the
      provinces
      for
      post-secondary
      education
      and
     
     
      health,
      Canada
      Student
      Loans,
      and
      research
      money
      for
      the
      granting
      councils
     
     
      (NSERC,
      SSHRC
      and
      MRC)
      are
      funded
      by
      the
      federal
      government.
      It
      is
      for
      this
     
     
      reason
      that
      post-secondary
      education
      students
      need
      to
      have
      representation
      on
     
     
      Parliament
      Hill.
      The
      Canadian
      Federation
      of
      Students
      represents
      your
      concerns
     
     
      to
      the
      federal
      government
      and
      lobbies
      the
      government
      for
      change
      in
      policies
     
     
      which
      affect
      us.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      As
      members
      of
      the
      Federation,
      we
      must
      work
      together
      to
      make
      the
     
     
      difference.
      And
      we
      can
      make
      a
      difference.
      Because
