[Advisors] Re: thinking strategically

[Marita Moll]

Marie, they are both on the list that I attached.  Ritz is from 
Lloydminster Saskatchewan.

Another important Sask. minister to target is Minister of State 
(Western Economic Diversification), Lynne Yelich, Blackstrap, Saskatchewan

Are you in a position, or do you know anyone, who could talk to these 
ministers sometime during the next 6 weeks while they are in their 
ridings .  The House will be breaking for the Christmas recess any day now.
