I received the following letter in reply to my invitation to meet during my Winnipeg visit: OpenCity 2005, the festival of participatory culture:

Russell,

Thank you for inviting Pat to meet with you, regrettably he will not be able to do so at this time. Please feel free to contact Charlie Angus, MP, the NDP Critic for Bill C-60 with your presentation notes or any materials that you think would be helpful to him in helping to form NDP policy on the issue of copyright protection and open source software.

Yours,

Jeremy Read
