Mr. Speaker, every time I asked about Phares Pierre's appointment, the Minister of Immigration claimed he was unaware of the troubled past of this former chief of staff in Haiti's Aristide regime. La Presse has revealed that the government—his government—knew about Phares Pierre's dark past before the scandal broke.
Will the minister acknowledge that he misled the House about this Conservative activist and will he take the only acceptable action and revoke this partisan appointment?
