.... Ottawa, Ontario .... April 12, 2010 Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean Governor General of Canada Rideau Hall 1 Sussex Drive Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A1 Excellency, It is with an equal measure of pleasure and trepidation that I present your Excellency with a copy of Shooting the Messenger, a true story, which former Calgary Columnist Les Brost described as “one of the most powerful, poignant stories I have ever heard.” After reading my whistleblower’s tale I hope, that, unlike your Minister for Foreign Affairs, you will find it within your heart to do something. It is a lot to ask, I know, especially with your term is coming to end when I am sure you have more pressing and important matters to attend to; and even if you were successful in intervening on my behalf it will go largely unnoticed but not in some quarters where it really counts. «Tout ce que vous faites au plus petit d’entre les miens, c’est à moi que vous le faites. » (Mathieu 25, 40) Yours Sincerely _________________ Bernard Payeur Encl.: Shooting the Messenger, A Whistleblower’s Tale.
