MP Brison's retraction

Well MP Brison's smearing of the National Citizens Coalition and Stephen Harper didn't even last 24 hours. Here is the latest from Gerry Nichols' blog. (h/t Nealenews)

Dear Mr. Nicholls:

Thank you for your letter dated today concerning my statement regardingthe NCC.

I wish to acknowledge that my statement was factually incorrect in two ways:

* I was in error to say that the NCC was charged six timeswith violations of the Elections Act.
* It was premature to say that there was a contravention ofthe Lobbyist Registration Act. In order to resolve and clarify thenature of these activities, I have asked the Registrar of Lobbyists toinvestigate. I was provided with incorrect information, but I accept responsibility for my statements. I regret my errors, and I withdraw those statements categorically.

Please accept my apology.
Sincerely,
Scott Brison
