Dear Members of the Law School Community,

I cannot let my last moments as dean pass without sending to all of you a short note thanking you for everything this community has done to make these years as dean so wonderful.  From the staff, to the students, to the faculty, administrators and alumni, all of you in your different ways have helped make this place what it is today.

It has been an honour to work with you, to build something together and to serve our law school and university.  I will miss you.

Prof. Yasmin Dawood has co-authored, with several other academics from across Canada, an open letter to the Government of Canada about the Fair Elections Act that calls on the government to withdraw the bill. This open letter follows an earlier one co-authored by Prof. Dawood that expressed concerns about the Act and was signed by 160 professors from across Canada in various relevant disciplines. The second letter has been signed by an even larger number of professors.
