I would like, one more time, to make a couple of points about itFirst, I want to thank Jean Chrétien for his inscription; he had been a cordial acquaintance for 25 years before that, as he writes. I want to thank Jean Chrétien for his inscriptionThe whole issue between us was nonsense, but the account of it in this latest book is largely the fiction that receding memories often produce. The whole process was completed within an hour, except that Chrétien then made his intervention over the Nickle Resolution. The issue was not justiciable in Britain because the problem was entirely due to my being a Canadian citizen and was invoked by the Canadian government. I am as I wrote above, delighted that Jean Chrétien has now also received a very high honour from the British government.
