Quebec City: Courtesy Call

Justice Minister Dept: But his presence at the meeting in Vanier riding was only a courtesy call to shake a few hands, his lawyer Renald Beaudry said yesterday. After that, he was off to the premier's Quebec City office, according to Montreal Gazette. The minutes indicate 13 people were present. Witnesses say Bellemare -then the riding's MNA -was among them and former justice minister Marc Bellemare did meet with his Liberal riding association the same night he says he met with Premier Jean Charest to complain about the behaviour of Liberal fundraisers. In yet another twist at the Bastarache commission, newly unearthed documents reveal the Vanier riding association held a meeting between 7 and 9 p.m. on Sept. 2, 2003. As reported in the news.
