 CBC News Indepth: Federal sponsorship scandal
All this, Brault said, was at the request of three high-ranking federal Liberals: Jacques Corriveau, head of Pluridesign and a personal friend of former prime minister Jean Chrétien, Alain Renaud who worked at the party's Quebec offices in Montreal and Benoît Corbeil, a senior official at the party's offices at the time.
Brault revealed that he cut a deal with Corriveau in the spring of 1998 to return to the Liberal party 10 per cent of the 12 per cent commission fees he charged on sponsorship contracts.
Brault testified that during a meeting on April 16, 1996, Corriveau asked him to "take under my wing for a period of a year, one person who was well liked" by the party, Serge Gosselin.

 The Politicker: AdScam: Brault Testimony Continues
Most of Brault's testimony seems to implicate the circles around Jean Chrétien and Alfonso Gagliano – who are all persona non grata in the "new" Liberal administration of Paul Martin - but there seem to be few direct links to the new regime.
Brault was invited to join a consultative committee for Rogers Cantel – a Canadian mobile phone company, chaired by former Liberal cabinet minister and key Martin ally Francis Fox.
So links have emerged in Brault's testimony to many of the people that Martin kept on as ministers or Parliamentary secretaries – even though Martin assured Canadians that he had thoroughly questioned all of his ministers and ensured that none of them had any involvement in the Adscam controversy.

The internationally renowned French thinker Jacques Derrida-the New York Times once exaggeratedly called him "perhaps the world's most famous philosopher"-is, as his readers know, interested not only in the traditional philosophical topics of life, death, and all the rest, but he's also and especially interested in the problems of speaking and writing about those subjects.
Derrida shares his sorrow, and we experience "the reader's grief." In this instance, it is grief I'm grateful for because, among other things, it is such a powerful reminder of what we might live for.
A combination elegy, introductory text and act of appropriation, Jacques Derrida's The Work of Mourning finds the French ber-philosophe writing about the lives and works of departed contemporaries Louis Althusser, Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault, Paul De Man and 10 others in biographically based chapters.

 Vue Weekly : Articles
A year ago, in these pages, I wrote about acclaimed Edmonton poet E.D. Blodgett’s ongoing collaborations with Quebec poet Jacques Brault, ones characterized by the dialogue between artistic forms, across languages and creative sensibilities.
What makes these “shared” creations all the more peculiar and gripping is that they run counter to the conventional notion that art emerges from conditions of utter freedom.
Hemmed in by each other’s words and interpretations, Blodgett and Brault show this to be less a constraint than a potent stimulant to the imagination.

The distinguished French philosopher Jacques Derrida has, like all of us, been forced to wrestle with the complexities of mourning, as his friends and colleagues have passed away before him.
Many of the essays are available in English for the first time, and one, on Lyotard, has never been published before.
