Show detail Hide detail

Series consists of responses to constituents who turned to their MP with issues and concerns, such as health services, unemployment insurance, pension problems, requests for support with immigration issues, with student loans and so on. While much of the correspondence originates with constituents and personal issues, very many of these issue were rolled up to other minister's office for resolution. There is also correspondence with foreign ambassadors and Liberal Caucus committees on government policy. The correspondence also demonstrates how Kaplan worked with the organizations and representatives of two major electoral groups in his riding, the Jews and Italians, to secure his hold on his seat. In short, there is much more here than just purely local issues.
The correspondence addresses important issues of the day, such as the anti-inflation struggle, health and welfare programs, unemployment issues, the environment, foreign corporations, banking and so on.
