Federal Bureaucrats: Jason Kenney

The Canadian Press Dept: The Canadian Press reported Thursday that six federal bureaucrats were drafted to pose as new Canadians for a reaffirmation ceremony broadcast on the TV channel last October, according to The Chronicle Herald. The co-hosts of the show, who say they were unaware of the presence of the stand-in immigrants, repeatedly referred to the group of 10 as new Canadians who had finally received their citizenship and oTTAWA Immigration Minister Jason Kenney and the Sun News Network are laying the blame for a misleading televised citizenship ceremony squarely on the shoulders of federal civil servants. Kenney s office had asked the department to organize the event on short notice, adding it to the 60 events bureaucrats had planned for Canada s Citizenship Week. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
