a reply to a letter regarding the Morgentaler situation in Manitoba

Dear Miss Curley:

Thank you for your letter of February 1^st. Members of our party and I have indeed taken notice of the unwarranted interference by Mr. Penner in altering the charges in the Morgentaler case. As you maybe be aware, our chief critic for the Attorney General, Mr. Gerry Mercier, M.L.A. has questioned the Minister extensively on this matter in recent sittings of the Legislatures. Mr. Penner’s interference, because of his own personal biases on this issue can throw the whole administration of justice in Manitoba into disrepute. Rest assured, we will do everything in our power to bring to the attention of all Manitobans our concern for this miscarriage of justice.

Yours sincerely

Gary Filmon

Leader of the Opposition
