this opportunity to extend my personal thanks for your kind words’.

Diocesan Council members Mr. Harper continues `I enjoyed our meeting
and look forward to your continued input as we work to fulfill the
mandate given to us by Canadians. Once again, thank you for your
encouragement and support’ concludes the Prime Minister.
