Helesia Luke: Freedom Of Information Request

Canada Border Services Agency Dept: Helesia Luke, a former music and entertainment producer who now works in communications, said she was deeply disturbed by the TV cameras that accompanied CBSA agents during a bust last week, according to Vancouver Sun. Luke went online, found a phone number for freedom of information requests and made a call on Friday, explaining she was a concerned citizen and that she wanted to see any government contracts authorizing the filming and Public Safety Minister Vic Toews personally signed off on the production of a reality TV show featuring the Canada Border Services Agency, according to government documents obtained by a Vancouver woman through a freedom of information request. "I was very upset. I understand that border services agents have to do their job, but ambushing people and asking them to sign a waiver while they are in detention is a power imbalance so skewed it's offensive. I thought how could this happen? Who signed off on it?" (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
