(This picture was taken with my cell phone, in the round table and Karen's arm is at the left. She was directly across Mr. Harper, and I took a back seat behind my "First Lady!")
We were very honoured to be invited by the Prime Minister to join in a round table discussion about drugs in Canada. Federal Ministers Vic Toews, Tony Clement, Stockwell Day and Stephen Fletcher attended as well. There were RCMP, Winnipeg's Chief of Police, Police Associations, addiction agenices etc that were also involved. Carole Johnson, mother of a daughter that was killed a couple of years ago, a Winnipeg Police officer's teenaged daughter (her father was shot by a man on Jubilee during a drug raid), and Karen and I were the only "victims" in the room, and I must say the majority of the conversation was from this group.
The round table was held an hour before the media announcement.
