Immigration: Polish Immigrant

Poland Immigration to Canada Dept: On Friday, the head of an inquiry into the death of Mr. Dziekanski is to release his final report, based on more than 70 days of hearings, according to Globe And Mail. Asked why the PMO was taking a lead on the issue, Ms. MacIntyre would say only that Mr. Harper’s office wanted to reiterate the importance of the apology to Mr. Dziekanski’s family Mr. Harper’s comments marked an unusual executive-level intervention into the long-running case of Mr. Dziekanski, a 40-year-old Polish immigrant who died after being tasered during a confrontation with four Mounties at Vancouver airport. Recorded in a widely broadcast video, the incident sparked furious debate about the police use of stun guns. “We are disappointed to learn of the e-mail. The apology was very important to Mr. Dziekanski’s family and his mother in particular,” Sara MacIntyre, a press secretary for Mr. Harper, said Wednesday from Ottawa. “We find the e-mail troubling.” As reported in the news.
