The e-mail in question is one from the NDP national party bookkeeper, Lucy Ladouceur. She sent it in an e-mail to a campaign of NDP MP Libby Davies. It meets all the characteristics that you've laid out with respect to the Conservative transactions that your agency has singled out, so we would hope that you would take a second look. That e-mail is in your possession. In fact, it was filed with Elections Canada and we obtained it from your agency.
I'd like to move on to the issue of the leak of the planned visit of Elections Canada to the Conservative Party headquarters. An e-mail exchange obtained through access to information shows that Elections Canada was totally preoccupied with the widespread public belief that the agency had leaked its planned visit to the Conservative headquarters.
Mr. Mayrand, you wrote in an April 18 e-mail to Ms. Vézina:
This may be pure diversion tactic/competitive frustration from a media outlet vis-à-vis another.
Blaming the media aside, the e-mail shows that you referred to the leak seven times. Obviously you took this concern very seriously. I'd like to know who exactly conducted the internal review that you mentioned earlier.
