Normally, I would have alerted the Leader of the Government of this statement in the hope that he would have joined with me, if not in congratulating the Stingers for reaching the finals, at least in wishing them the very best in their first effort to bring the Vanier Cup to Montreal. If I did not do so, it was not through lack of courtesy.
Normalement, j'aurai dû prévenir le leader de la majorité de cette déclaration, dans l'espoir qu'il se joigne à moi, sinon pour féliciter les Stingers de s'être rendus en finale, du moins pour leur souhaiter de ramener la coupe Vanier à Montréal.
