As I said, when I learned of the incident, I immediately called Ms. Kontoyanni, the president of the UDA.
I apologized without attempting to justify or explain the matter. I simply told her that it was a mistake and that we would correct the situation, and she responded in a very generous manner. She told me that she was pleased that I had called, and I then sent her a letter so that she could distribute it to her members.
Mr. Dubé called Radio-Canada's unions.
I was very pleased that Ms. Kontoyanni even spoke to the press to emphasize the fact that she had accepted our apology.
