Evasive tactics, Mr. Speaker.
The discovery of partisan misuse of residency permits in the 2004 election by the Liberals may well be just the tip of the iceberg. A brave whistleblower provided evidence of abuse of permits personally authorized by a Liberal immigration minister.
The ethics report identified that during the election 97% of permits issued at an MP's request went to Liberals.
Did anyone in the Prime Minister's Office direct the former minister to approve this flood of election period permits for Liberals?
