Letter to Pratt from Roger Collet, Assistant Deputy Minister, Citizenship and Canadian Unity, Canadian Heritage.

Chapter 12

This is a part of a memorandum written by Pratt. I have not included the memo in its entirety because Pratt was very frustrated at the time that he wrote it, and as a result he expressed some rather harsh opinions regarding the situation. After much thought, I decided that it would not be fair to Pratt or others to include the memo in its entirety. However, even the parts of the memo contained here reflect the difficult situation the Foundation was in. As indicated in the memo, Camu even wanted to return money to donors and discontinue the project.
