Air Canada Flight: Access To Information Request

Trudeau International Airport Dept: Most of the 24 orphans, victims of Haiti's devastating Jan. 12 earthquake, were destined for families in Quebec, the Star reported Monday, citing documents obtained through an access to information request. Initially scheduled to fly to Montreal's Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, they instead were flown to Ottawa then bused to Montreal and other areas, according to CBC. "The Harper government chose to put them through a two-hour bus ride and photo op when they totally didn't need to," Montreal Liberal MP Justin Trudeau, whose Papineau riding includes a large Haitian community, told the Star and critics are accusing the federal government of rerouting a flight of Haitian orphans in January from Montreal to Ottawa for a photo op with Conservative politicians, according to a report in the Toronto Star. Their arrival on Jan. 24 aboard an Air Canada flight was widely reported; among those there to meet them was Immigration Minister Jason Kenney. As reported in the news.
