Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Foreign Affairs

Office Of Religious Freedom Dept: Harper first promised the new branch of Foreign Affairs nearly two years ago during the last federal election campaign, according to CBC. The government's plan has been delayed for several months after it was revealed that Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird had trouble filling the top job and details about a long-awaited Office of Religious Freedom, and the person who will lead it, will be announced today by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The announcement will be made at the Ahmadiyya Muslim community centre and mosque in Vaughan, Ont., a community north of Toronto. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
