Justice And Peace Dept: Unknown still is the rationale Minister Oda has for standing "by her decision to deny KAIROS funding.", according to Vancouver Sun. A minister providing no rationale for cancelling a decades long expenditure is unacceptable as well and international Cooperation Minister Bev Oda has admitted tardily she added the word "not" to the memo in which CIDA staff recommended funding for KAIROS, an ecumenical partnership working to promote human rights, justice and peace, viable human development, and ecological justice. A minister denying adding the word "not" to a recommendation, then prevaricating about doing so, is an unacceptable precedent. As
reported in the news.
@t bev oda, ecumenical partnership
