- That the privileges of the House be extended to the Reverend Michael Hicks. CARRIED #38-05-88
- The Reverend Michael Hicks, Mrs. Amy Newell and Archdeacon David Woeller joined in presenting the report of the Task Force and invited comments and questions.
- Mr. Hicks said that it would be very important for the church to do careful research and analysis, to enter into dialogue and to speak with a critical voice. Lobbyists he has spoken with have expressed the view that there is a vital role for the churches to play and they should be encouraged.
- Much discussion centred around financial implications, increasing the assessment budget and how the items in this budget are evaluated and ranked in priority.
- Seconded by: Mrs. A. Newell
- That the National Executive Council authorize the appointment by the Primate of a National Affairs Liaison Officer by July 1, 1990, and request the Administration and Finance Committee to provide the necessary funding, including an exploration of a possible partnership with the Diocese of Ottawa. A careful evaluation of this work is to be undertaken not later than three years after its establishment.
