"So I understand the politics and I understand that what you are alluding to is that for the face of it, there ought to have been this, that and the third. And what we're saying is we understand that, but we're properly within the confines of the halls of justice, and we will conduct ourselves that way."

And I agree with that, but I'm saying that how can you then say, well, you know, you have to make, you have to defer to these considerations. You have to maintain your position of power within the party, because that's what legitimizes Tracy Panton's leadership."

Sheena Pitts, Interim Chairman
"Yes. And we will do that. We will continue to do that because all is not lost."
