New Democrats: Partisan Activities

Jason Kenney Dept: The allegations were raised by the New Democrats after they obtained a letter, sent Thursday by Kenney's office on parliamentary letterhead, that was seeking $200,000 in donations to support a Tory strategy targeting "very ethnic" ridings, according to Montreal Gazette. "The employee responsible for this matter has offered the minister his resignation and the minister has accepted it. Minister Kenney has taken responsibility for this and has apologized for his former employee's actions. Using parliamentary or government resources for partisan activities is completely unacceptable." Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has apologized following revelations Thursday that his office used government resources to raise money for the Conservative party. "This is very serious and unacceptable," said Kenney's spokesman Alykhan Velshi in a statement sent Thursday evening. As reported in the news.
