Apology offered in fake immigration kerfuffel
(THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld)
Canada's Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has apologized after it was learned six federal bureaucrats posed as new Canadians in a citizenship ceremony. The six were asked to pretend they were new Canadians for the citizenship reaffirmation ceremony broadcast on the Sun News network when not enough new immigrants showed up for the event. Mr. Kenney insists he had no knowledge of the idea to use the bureaucrats on the show.
