Provincial Election Campaign: Financial Corruption

Robert Ghiz Dept: We received information about allegations of corruption in the management of that program, which we appropriately referred to the RCMP and it would be for them to conduct an investigation, said Mr. Kenney. All I can tell you is that we did have very serious concerns about that program in the past, which is why we suspended it in 2008. We worked out a new agreement with the government of PEI for a better-managed program going forward, but we had never received information of this nature about actual financial corruption until Wednesday . , according to Globe and Mail. The leader of the PEI Liberal Party hit the airwaves to defend his record, and a Liberal spokesman described the accusations as politics at its worst. Obviously it concerns us, Mr. Kenney said in an interview with CTV, when asked about allegations brought forward to his department this week by three former PEI public servants alleging wrongdoing inside a provincial immigration program. Premier Robert Ghiz went on the offensive Thursday, challenging the credibility and motivation of three former public servants who are raising allegations of government wrongdoing in the middle of a provincial election campaign.
