John - Please see email below. Is there someone you suggest Gerry Butts (copied) could reach out to about getting Justin a one-to-one while HRC is in Ottawa? Thanks for your advice.

This is what I mean by loose. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Hi Folks – As you are all aware Canada 2020 is bringing Hillary Clinton for a luncheon address on Monday, October 6th. Both the Leader and Sophie will be in the crowd to hear the speech, but there is a strong desire to work on a private one-on-one with HRC during her visit. Canada 2020 is unaware of her actual arrival and departure time on the 6th, so I am unsure if there is even time to work in a sit-down. During the meeting Mike and I had with Tim yesterday, it was clear that we would need to drive this in order to see it happen. The structure of the contract and arrangements is that Canada 2020 works through HRC’s agent and are not dealing directly with her people. Tim has reached out on our behalf to Desiree McGraw who does have a personal relationship with someone that is very close to the Clinton’s – to try that angle. I have spoken with Charles Bird who often will work for HRC when she visit to Toronto to put the bug in his ear that we would like a private one-on-one, and Kate Purchase was also reaching out to a connection that she has with Clinton. These are merely the irons we currently have in fire. I think a multi-prong approach is the best one in this circumstance, so I am reaching out to this group to see if we can brainstorm other approaches, or connections, that might get us to the right individuals making the decisions. Suggestions? Marlene.
