to the United Nations
New York
Dear Colleague:
I am writing further to the announcement this morning of the nomination of
Mr. John McNee to succeed you as Ambassador and Permanent Representative of
Canada to the United Nations in New York.
As you are aware, the Prime Minister received your letter of resignation
some days ago and has asked that I convey his gratitude to you for agreeing to stay on
in New York until June so that your work on UN reform can continue in this period.
Mr. McNee will begin his assignment in July.
I want to thank you for the exemplary work you have accomplished during
your diplomatic tenure at the United Nations.
With all good wishes.
Sincerely,
V. Peter Harder
