A letter from the Organization of Spouses of Military Members to the Minister of National Defence asking for clarification as to what constitutes political activity. The letter also asks for authorization for military wives to organize on and across bases regarding matters such as petitioning for a dental plan. They emphasize that, as they are not military members themselves, organizing and associating with other military wives is a constitutional right and would not compromise the political neutrality of the military.
