Immigration Minister: Outreach Activities

Jason Kenney Dept: The immigration minister, credited with boosting the immigrant vote for his party at the expense of the Liberals, is just the latest Harper minister to step in a cow pie, according to Vancouver Sun. The letter was sent March 3 by Kenney's former director of multicultural affairs, Kasra Nejatian and a parliamentary fracas over Jason Kenney's ethnic outreach activities lifts a curtain on an insidious overlap between government business and partisan politics. One of Kenney's staffers, who has since resigned, used the minister's parliamentary letterhead and possibly other resources to advance a Conservative fundraising pitch aimed at wooing ethnic voters that was due to be launched next Tuesday. As reported in the news.
