Dear Sirs:
Re: PC Party Trust

Your Reference: 546668.1
Your letter dated September 10. 2009, addressed to various individuals whom you referred to as “the Trustees of the PC Party of Saskatchewan as of 1997” has been forwarded to myself as President of the Party, and to the Leader, Mr. Rick Swenson.
In my capacity as the President of the Party, I wish to point out that I, Lori Isinger, am the registered President of the Party in accordance with the Elections Act. At the Party’s A.G.M. in 2006-not 2004 as you allege, both Mr. Swenson and I, were legally elected by the respondents to a mass mailing of 1996 P.C. members. Our mandates have been extended in the election held in conjunction with the Party’s 2008 A.G.M.
Persons purporting to act for the PC Party have misconstrued, misrepresented and amended the terms of the Trust. Your office and you, Mr. McIntyre, appear to continue this procedure thus causing undue and inappropriate costs. Monies have been spent, which the duly constituted Party, of which I am President and Mr. Swenson is the Leader, has not received proper accounting. This also is an infraction against the terms of the Trust.
The Trust was set up with one purpose, namely, to provide for the continuance of the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan, [PC Party] .It appears several of the Trustees have been acting in manners which are contrary to that intention and for the interests of the PC Party of Saskatchewan. Some of the Trustees have acted as Campaign Managers, Fundraisers, and Campaign Workers for members of a different provincial political party. Many of them are also over the retirement age of 70-a term of the Trust

This is clearly and unequivocally contrary to the spirit and intention with which the Trust was set up. They therefore have disqualified themselves as ‘Trustees”. They have also ignored notice of their retirement and replacement as Trustees of the Trust as legally rendered by the President and Leader in compliance of the Trust’s terms.
For you to suggest that the Trust would fund a meeting with one of its intentions being that of the “dissolution of the PC Party of Saskatchewan” is obviously contrary to the purposes and intention of the Trust Fund. It is not only a breach of trust, but also a blatant provocation to dishonour the moral and legal obligations of the Trust and the Trustees who swore/affirmed their commitment upon accepting the responsibilities as Trustees.
The fact that the individuals controlling the Fund had previously provided funds to flow to the PC Party of Saskatchewan with some of the present officers and suddenly, provocatively and without just reason, caused the flow of these funds to cease, doesn’t make sense. This was contrary to any reasonable protocol. At the very least it is questionable procedure and at most it appears to be illegal and morally reprehensible. To purport that the present Party is not a continuation of the pre 1997 Party is nothing more than a flimsy alibi., and a stalling tactic.
Let us suggest to you, Mr. McIntyre, that the Party has always continued and, is legally constituted. For reasons set forth at a meeting, members of the Party chose not to run a full slate of candidates in the last election. We now intend to be involved in every riding and to put forth reasonable and proper policies which will provide the citizens of the province a choice, and will justify the election of a PC Government in Saskatchewan.
Accordingly, we ask that funds from the PC Party Trust be provided to the PC Party of Saskatchewan, of which I have the honour of being elected President, in accordance with tradition and terms of the Trust.
We agree that the Trustees are “in a no-win situation” This has been a self-inflicted situation as they have continued to act long after they have defiled the terms of the Trust. On behalf of the Party I demand that you advise your clients to cease and desist and to officially resign by informing the Party thus allowing the democratic process to prevail.
Yours truly,
Lori Isinger, President
