To: Reform BC Constituency Board Members (via Constituency Secretaries and/or Presidents)

Former Honorable Premier Mr. Bill Vander Zalm no longer supports the purposes of Reform BC, and his motion at a meeting on February 10th, 2001 held in Aldergrove, proposed “a motion to deregister the Reform Party and seek by way of a vote the support for the decision from Reform Members present at the Convention in Kamloops in February.” A meeting that did not have a quorum of voting members.

It is with sadness that as a former Honorable Premier, he will be purported as one responsible for the destruction of two political parties.

As for Welsh,Zayonc and Hall who supported his motion to deregister and not run Reform candidates in the next Provincial Election, are also seen , by their actions, to not support the purposes of Reform BC “PURPOSES 2.1 To operate as a political party within the Province of British Columbia.” and as such, as well as Mr. Vander Zalm, are no longer deemed by Reform Bylaws (1.1) to be a Member of Reform BC.

The majority Board of Reform Party Of British Columbia will not be joining the Unity Party

Reform BC will continue its plan to run candidates in the next provincial election

Yours Very Truly
