We have so far felt that we are not doing enough to communicate with our Atlantic neighbours, and thus we request permission to establish an embassy within Ottawa, with a consulate in Toronto.

In return, land will be set aside for an embassy in Kensington and a consulate in Brussels.

Yours,

Camille Lafayet
