Mr. Speaker, the difficult part is that for a full year the minister's answer and the answer of her parliamentary secretary in the House was that the decision that was taken was taken by CIDA, as an organization, that it was taken according to its priorities and that it was its decision. For a full year she hid behind CIDA making that decision.
Suddenly, in December she said, “No, I made it myself”, but she did not admit in December who it was that put the knot in the “not”.
How does the minister justify this kind of subterfuge?
