Immigration Applications: Privacy Commissioner

Rcmp Dept: I think they should have thought twice before releasing the information because the message it sends to citizens is If you complain and you see something illegal and you raise it we will come after you and we will deprive you of your basic right to privacy , she said in a telephone interview from Ottawa. The federal department forwarded Ms. Tenetko s allegations that bribes were paid to fast-track immigration applications to the RCMP, which is considering whether to investigate. Ms. Des Rosiers says the release by the governing Liberals of the e-mails sent last year by Svetlana Tenetko to Innovation Minister Allan Campbell could inhibit potential whistleblowers. Privacy commissioner Maria MacDonald confirmed Thursday that she is investigating Ms. Tenetko s complaint. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
