Stakeholder engagement is key. However how do you do it when CIRA frustrates members talking to each other by creating barriers and even acting illegally, to getting lists of members? For example, the $500 fee to get that list – positioned as cost recovery while being offered as a charitable donation – shows it has nothing to do with cost recovery. BTW, I offered CIRA that I would give $500 to United Way, show them the tax receipt, if they would give me the list of members. Win Win. Schtum!
Frankly CIRA does not want stakeholder engagement as we, the members, would get the pitchforks out and storm the barricades.
