Bevington Urges Area Donations to Red Cross for Haiti Earthquake

Fort Smith - In the wake of the coastal, catastrophic 7.0 earthquake near Port-Au-Prince in Haiti Tuesday, Western Arctic MP Dennis Bevington is urging constituents to give "as generously as possible" to the Canadian Red Cross.

"Haiti is so vulnerable and impoverished with political instability so this natural disaster will be particularly damaging to the people with potentially large numbers dead and injured," Bevington said. Bevington and his NDP colleagues are urging the Canadian government to act immediately in sending in the DART rescue team (Disaster Assistance Relief Team) and coordinating the aid effort.

Canadians are encouraged to support Red Cross relief efforts by making a financial donation to the Canadian Red Cross Haiti Earthquake fund. Donations can be made online at RED CROSS HAITI RELIEF, by calling toll free 1-800-418-1111.

"The Red Cross has a good reputation in this emergency aid as we saw with the tsunami in Southeast Asia and I understand the local Red Cross office on will be receiving money and we can wait to hear about requests for other types of assistance or material."

Bevington said the New Democrat caucus discussed the Haiti earthquake in a conference call last night, and it is one of the reasons the NDP caucus decided to come to Ottawa Jan. 25-27 to monitor the Canadian government response.

Bevington Echoes Northerners Call for more Infrastructure

YELLOWKNIFE - Western Arctic MP Dennis Bevington wrapped up a week of community visits in Inuvik today. The community visits were part of Bevington's consultation about the recent Joint Review Panel Announcement for the proposed Mackenzie natural gas project.

"While many Northerners are excited about the prospect of the multi-billion dollar project, they want a highway, and I will do what I can to help make an all weather road system a reality," Bevington said Tuesday morning.

Another key message the Member of Parliament received, was the need for immediate "impact funding."

"People of the North need to be assured 500 million dollars of social impact funding, will be flowing before shovels are hitting the ground for this project," Bevington added.

Dennis will be available for phone interviews tomorrow afternoon around 1:15 Mountain Time.

A thank you message from Jack Layton

Dear friends,

On Tuesday, millions of Canadians cast their votes and put their trust in New Democrats from coast to coast to coast.

Working families gave our team a stronger mandate and elected the second largest caucus of New Democrats ever.

Together, we broke through Stephen Harper's fortress Alberta by electing Linda Duncan in Edmonton.

Together, we also elected a record breaking 17 New Democrats in Ontario - virtually sweeping Northern Ontario.

And I'm pleased to welcome Niki Ashton, the youngest member of our caucus and a strong addition to our team of women MPs. Once again, New Democrats have elected the highest percentage of women of any of the parties.

With your support, our New Democrat team ran the strongest campaign we've run in a generation.

But with economic uncertainty, working families are anxious. They're anxious about their pensions and savings. They're anxious about their jobs. More and more are having a tough time making ends meet.

That's why, with a larger mandate in Parliament, the first item of business for New Democrat MPs will to be to roll up our sleeves and get to work on ensuring ordinary Canadians are protected.

In the upcoming Parliament, New Democrats will be in the House, day in and day out holding Stephen Harper to account and ensuring that no family is left behind.

Thank you again to all of the hard-working Canadians who made this great campaign a reality.

Hon. Jack Layton

Leader of the New Democratic Party
