(C) Senior NATO Policy Advisor Amy Galigan at the Department
of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) told us on
September 11 that she was already aware of the U.S. views
contained in the reftel demarche. Due to the September 7
decision by Prime Minister Harper to call a national election
on October 14, the government is currently in caretaker mode.
Consequently DFAIT is extremely limited in the substantive
responses it can give on this and any other foreign policy
questions until after the election, she said.
