Dear Mr. Macpherson:

Thank you for your e-mail dated March 3, 2005, regarding the HRC and for sharing your concerns with me.

The Minister has not visited the site. She has no idea the wonderful conditions the residents of the HRC
live under.

She has spoken to the Council and to a couple of the parents in a meeting at Queen's Park.

In her response to my letter, she accuses me of politicizing the issue.  If trying to save 680 jobs for my
community and listening to the family  members and friends of the residents', is political then so be it!!  
However, I  intend to fight to keep the HRC open, because it is the right thing to do.

Once again, thank you for writing.

Sincerely,

Garfield Dunlop, M.P.P.
