Mr. Speaker, despite the claims, here is the tone of the letter. The Prime Minister sent a personal letter sending regrets about not being able to attend Mr. Boulay's 50th birthday. He discusses how gracefully Mr. Boulay's wife is aging, closing with the chummy teasing as the oldest vintage of the gathering and a handwritten addition about being too old to golf, signed “Paul”.
Why is the Prime Minister continuing to mislead Canadians about downplaying his relationship to the sponsorship suspect Claude Boulay, clearly parting with this longstanding relationship?
