Mr. Speaker, the minister's most senior political assistant, her chief of staff, has admitted that political direction came directly from the minister. In a memo, he wrote:
--the Minister has authorized a temporary resident permit for a two-year period to allow her to remain in Canada and make an application for permanent resident from within Canada.
The minister knew what she was doing and who she was doing it for.
How can the minister justify political favours to an exotic dancer, a personal supporter, while promising to fix a broken and unfair system?
