Public Safety Minister Vic Toews: The Commons

OTTAWA A Liberal Party Dept: OTTAWA A Liberal party researcher has resigned for tweeting salacious information about Public Safety Minister Vic Toews to protest the government s online surveillance bill, according to The Chronicle Herald. I discussed the matter with that individual this morning. He offered his resignation and I ve accepted his resignation, Rae told the Commons. And I want to offer to the minister my personal apology to him for the conduct of the member of my staff.
