  • correspondence on CBA-NL letterhead;
  • correspondence signed by an individual acting on behalf of the CBA-NL or in which the writer describes themselves as being a Branch office holder and may, by inference, be taken as speaking for the CBA-NL or one of its constituent bodies;

  • any other oral submissions and public appearances on behalf of CBA-NL.
