Dear David:

Students who study the field of multiculturalism have II realize that political enemies of Prime Minister Steve Harper are harping over nothing to gain an advantage against him. They say Steve hasn't got enough minority talent. And yet:

I. He has Peter Penashue of Labrador as Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs & Leona Aglukkaq as Minister of Health. These two fine Ministers are of First Nations descent and are quite talented.

II. Steve has Steven Fletcher of Manitoba as his Minister of State (Transport). Mr. Fletcher is paralyzed from the neck down & yet he is a brilliant MP & Cabinet Minister.

III. The Prime Minister has Timothy Uppal as his Minister of State (Democratic Reform). Timothy is a fine member of the Sikh community & adds many talented ideas II the cabinet table.

So remember David, IV people to attack the Prime Minister about not having enough ethnicity in his cabinet & then passing that information down to students is ludicrous. I think Steve Harper has named a fully diverse & multicultural & multitalented cabinet!

Solid Oak Cabinet,

Rory
