I am writing regarding your invitation to appear on June 9th before the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. As you are aware, Mr. Jaffer has already appeared once and provided information to the Committee. Several other witnesses have testified and, it would appear, provided documents and other material. I require an opportunity to review that evidence and to meet with my client. As I have just recently been retained, I will not be able to do that before June 9th. On behalf of Mr. Jaffer, am therefore going to have to decline your invitation to appear on that date. 1 would like to speak with you about arranging an alternative date for Mr. Jaffer to appear later this month or during the summer. I would also like to discuss with you an arrangement under which I could provide the Committee with additional documents in the next two weeks. Mr. Jaffer is anxious to provide the Committee with the information that it requires to complete its mandate. YouyS\ery tru Fi FAsHlcope 143 @EA Just Resuurs Toronto + Orrawa Bam
