Thanks Rosemary.

Councillors, please let me know if there is opposition to me sending the letter Rosemary's group has drafted in my capacity as Chair?

Thanks,

Stéphane

I am not saying whether this is a good or bad thing, but as there has been considerable debate on this over the past few months, I would not feel comfortable in sending such a letter in my capacity as Chair unless I know the Council supports that move.
