Greetings All. FYI Gordon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul, Jeff: SEN" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 1:37 PM Subject: [CCC] Apology and Retraction to Senators Lynch-Staunton and Stratton Dear Canada Census Campaign: Further to my note of November 18, 2004, I want to formally and publicly apologize for my remarks concerning the strategy of the Conservative Party of Canada in relation to bill S-18. In particular I want to apologize to Senator John Lynch-Staunton and to Senator Terrence Stratton for suggesting that their strategy was tied to attempts to pass a bill that had not yet been introduced in the Senate. I understand that the allegations that I made were untrue and improper. Senators Lynch-Staunton and Stratton are long serving and well respected Senators whose reputation I attacked inappropriately. I hope that they will both accept my apology and my retraction. Jeff Paul Policy Advisor Office of the Hon. Lorna Milne Ph: (613) 947-9744 Cell: (613) 715-2965
