1 - Would you have the kindness to forward me your address so that I may forward you a copy of [[my book]] and the [[remarks]] which I made before the [[Commission of the Estates General of the French language]]. That way you will be in a better position to voice your opinion with intelligence and good faith on the true nature of my remarks, including my admiring and unconditional praise on the Jewish people which invited the French Canadian people to follow the Jews' "rough will to survive, their invincible spirit of solidarity and their moral armour adding that in a way the Christians and the Jews were spiritually Semites."

2 - I am, along with twelve Quebecers, or Canadians if you prefer, a founding member of the [[Human Rights League]], in 1962, in company of [[Pierre-Elliott Trudeau]], and [[Jacques Hébert]], former Liberal senator. I was last year president of the [[Léo Cormier]] [[Foundation for the defence of rights and freedoms]]. I am the godfather of a Jewish boy, my wife is godmother of a Jewish girl, I lived for 37 years in a Jewish district of Montreal in perfect harmony, friendship and conviviality with my neighbours for whom I feel the highest regard. Few old-stock Quebec families can claim such a resume. By searching a little, one could surely find a better profile of anti-semitism!!! I know that you did not pronounce the word of "antisémite" when referring to me, but the text of your correspondence with professor [[Hilton]] of [[Concordia University]] suggests that I have or I could have had "relents" of this nature.
