From here:

International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda told Parliament Monday that she was the person who directed that a recommendation from her staff be altered to deny funding to a church-backed aid group.

The minister was backtracking on previous statements in which she said Kairos had lost its funding because the group’s work no longer fit with the Canadian International Development Agency’s objectives — suggesting she was acting on her department’s recommendation.

What can one say?

Bev Oda for Prime Minister – after a decent interval of ritual shaming.
