Bateman: Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the appointment of Justice Glaude. While instrumental in bringing the long-awaited Inquiry to Cornwall, Jim and his staff have had no impact upon the selection of Justice Glaude. This was done to ensure the selection proceeded in an impartial manner. As a result, the Office of the Attorney General was responsible for the appointment of Justice Glaude on April 18, 2005. If you have any further questions please contact me at the number below. Best, ANDREW MITCHELL Executive Assistant Office Of Jim Brownell MPP Stormont-Dundas-Charlottenburgh Parliamentary Assistant, Ministry of Health (Public Health) (416) 325-9596 Cell: (416) 561-9295
