[Advisors] Re: thinking strategically

Hi 
Perhaps we should add Gerry Ritz Minister of Agriculture (Farmers are using
our CAP sites) and Alice Wong Minister of State (Seniors)- Many of CAP
clients are seniors.

Well, Peter has just sent my strategy to the list before I had a chance to
pretty up the presentation and prepare a report on Thursday's meeting.  But
you will get the jist of it below.  I'm suggesting that everyone pick a
cabinet minister in their area and get a meeting going asap.

Let's not go for the opposition at this time -- I think it would work
against us.

List of ministers and their ridings attached.  Let me know if you can take
on any of these people.

Some have already agreed to do this -- and that is indicated in the file.
