At the Wednesday, December 19, regional board meeting, Brabazon said that at the committee of the whole meeting on Thursday, December 12, Electoral Area B director Mark Gisborne put forward a motion, and during the subsequent discussion, he [Brabazon] used some “intemperate words and improper language,” which he regrets.

“I apologize to director Gisborne personally, I should not have done so and I will not in future,” said Brabazon. “I also apologize to the board, because, as the senior director, I should set a better example than I did. I’m sorry I did that. I shall endeavour not to do so again.”
