From Raie Binet.

MAY I thank Deputy Paul Le Claire, who I do not know, for his letter to you (JEP, 7 Jun) in which he states what many of us feel about the long service to the public of former Housing Minister Senator Terry Le Main.

It is unfortunate that his career at Housing has ended in this abrupt manner.

On the few occasions on which I have had dealings with the Senator, I have found him very courteous and helpful, and messages left on his answer phone have been answered very quickly.

It is sad that one can devote all those years to the public without receiving recognition for all the good things accomplished.

May I and my family join with Deputy Le Claire in thanking Senator and Mrs Le Main and in wishing them a very happy future.
