Hello

The purpose of the meeting is to allow the Ministers to have a discussion with family members about the government's response to the Major Report. If Mr Quance wishes to attend the meeting to listen and observe only then the Ministers have no problem with that.

Thanks

Tom Jarmyn

Dear Minister Toews / Mr Jarymn

Listed below are the e mails for family members in India,Singapore and Australia. As you can understand sir that it is very difficult for these families to get first hand information from meetings in Canada , hence we request that our representative Mr Rick Quance be present with Ms Shipra Rana on Sunday, Mr Quance was refused entry for the meet last month much to my suprise ( as he was there to fact find ) upon the family's request in a non aggressive or demanding way . Rick has been included with private family

meetings with Mr Major and with out issue ( as Rick is a through gentleman ) . Once again on behalf of family all over the world who cannot be present please let Rick enter this meet with the respect required.

May this be confirmed asap and before the said meeting

With regards

Anil Singh Hanse - Australia
