N. Kelly

G. Lindsay Luby

for a term of office expiring on November 30, 2000."

The Striking Committee also submits the following communication (February 19, 1999) from Councillor Bruce Sinclair, Rexdale-Thistletown:

My foremost concern regarding the Toronto Housing Company Inc., is that all sections of our City be adequately represented on the Board. Therefore, I am most anxious to see Council representation increased from three to five, and a motion will be forthcoming to Council to that effect.

I suggest that action on Council appointees to the Toronto Housing Company Board be deferred until Council has an opportunity to vote on it. In the meantime, since there is one proposed excellent name from the western section of the City, I would like to withdraw my own nomination.
