Mr. Speaker, over the past month the allegations of intimidation and artificially inflating refugee acceptance rates have been levelled at Michael Schelew and the Immigration and Refugee Board.
On November 21, Mr. Schelew was quoted as saying that he would not negotiate a severance package because he wanted exoneration. A judicial inquiry was ordered. It was called off because Mr. Schelew resigned with a $100,000 parting gift from the federal government.
Who negotiated and authorized this severance package? Will the minister make public the details of the negotiations which led to this 180 degree turn by Mr. Schelew?
