Thank you for your letter inviting the Right Honorable
Jean Chretien to be the guest of honor at the 2nd International
Conference of Chief Justices of the World at Lucknow, India
on December 23rd 2001.
While the Prime Minister very much appreciates your invitation,
his schedule precludes him from attending.. however, he
has asked me to send his very best wishes for a productive
conference.
In regards to your request for a message, it is being prepared
and will be forwarded to you at the earliest possible date.
