Also, thanks to Tim, I had the opportunity to spend a few hours last night
with Minister Redford?s EA over dinner. Our meeting was informal,
cordial, and went very well. Kudos also to Tim for being mentioned by
the Premier in his address at the dinner as a leader in the party and
driving force behind the success of the Premiers? Dinner in Calgary.

With respect to May Jensen Shawa Solomon, I met with Sabri Shawa and
Rob Hawkes this morning. Rob is the ex-husband (on a very friendly
basis) with Alison Redford, QC (our Justice Minister).

Generally, the meeting went very, very well. They are interested in
joining our coalition. The delay in responding to our invitation was their
discussions with Siskinds about whether there was room for MJSS in
the Siskinds coalition. There is not, and they want to pursue the file with
us.

The positives that arose from the meeting are that Rob Hawkes has
discussed the file directly with Alison Redford, and she indicated to him
we were in the forefront on the matter. Additionally, Rob?s political
connections go far, far beyond my expectations and knowledge in both
Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Rob was the political point man for Bennett
Jones, and remains very, very involved at what appears to be a high
level with the PC party.
