ANDSAY:
1, At 932 aim. on May 11, 2010, T spoke with Alfred Apps, President of the Liberal
Party of Canada. 1 took detailed notes of our conversation, in order that I could later brief
others.
2, ‘The subject matter of our conversation was cooperation between the Liberal Party and
the NDP. What Mr. Apps said surprised me. Mr. Apps stated: “There is lot of interest in
‘merger in the NDP. There have been many discussions at a high level..involving the NDP
ssints [whom he described as Droadbent, Romanow].”
3. Tid not know how such an arrangement would work, Mr. Apps stated: “Two board
resolutions would be required..The NDP is really pushing this, bat they would need to do
thyee things.”
4, He suid those things were: “One, renounce socialism and embrace « mixed-matket
economy. Two, be prepared to have Michael Ignatieff as leader. Three, the senior saints must
[promote the concept.”
5. Told Mr. Apps the idea sounded risky. He replied: “It is a profoundly democratic act
‘and would lead to the creation of a new party.” He then went on to state that unions would
need o lose guaranteed votes under the NDP constitution.
6. Mr. Apps and I had other conversations about this subject on other dates. I was not
involved in any discussions with the NDP, and I did not initiate any. However, I supported
‘hat Mr. Apps had to say.7. Tmake this affidavit for no improper purpose, and only to set the record straight about
‘what I know about this subject
