OTTAWA — It’s just after 9 a.m. on a Friday morning at Wilfrid’s Restaurant in the Chateau Laurier and guests are helping themselves to a breakfast buffet when Jean Charest takes his seat in the corner of the room.
This iconic hotel down the street from Parliament Hill, the scene of so many political tete-a-tetes and soirees, is about as cliche a meeting place as you can get in official Ottawa. It’s somehow entirely appropriate.
Frankly I’m more interested in what’s on offer at the breakfast buffet.
