Mr. Speaker, here is another example of why the minister's excuses do not add up. She said that she decided to do her supporter a favour in order to rescue her from sexual exploitation. In the same breath, she argued that this woman was brought to Canada to fill a legitimate labour market need.
She certainly does not gain credibility by defending Liberal policies that bring young women in to work where they can be sexually exploited.
Is the minister's real problem that there is simply no way to justify the preferential treatment she gave to her campaign supporter?
