Especially, Mr. Speaker, when her neck is on the line.
In their case before the supreme court, the Department of Citizenship and Immigration lawyers flat out say that FACT is a fundraising front for the Tamil Tigers. They go on to say that the Tigers “raise money through drug trafficking and by relying upon the willing or unwilling expatriate communities abroad, such as the large number of Tamil refugees in Canada”.
That is what her own lawyers have said.
How can the minister deny that her cabinet colleagues were in fact raising funds for a terrorist front?
