[fvc-wat-disc] New insert (sample)

[Brian Tanguay]

Hi all,

I'm not so sure removing the French at this stage will achieve the
results we want. Won't it make the question look even weirder when the
voters finally do get a look at the ballot? By including the French now
in the information booklet, we might help voters get over the
strangeness of the actual question.

This is just a thought; I'm not really wedded to the idea of keeping
the French in the information booklet. But it might serve our ultimate
purpose better than dropping it.

 	That sounds reasonable to me. Maybe it is worth putting some
note 
that French and English translations will be on the question together?
