Tory MP Says Deputy Ministers Letter Saying Staff Appearing in Committee Are Being Harassed Is an Attempt at Censorship

Date:

Conservative MP for Calgary Nose Hill Michelle Rempel Garner speaks in the Foyer of the House of Commons in Ottawa on Sept. 12, 2024. The Canadian Press/Adrian WyldConservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner said a letter from Immigration Minister Lena Diab’s deputy minister, which said some public servants have faced harassment after appearing before the immigration committee, was an attempt at stopping Tories from questioning the Liberal government’s immigration policies.“It is troubling that rather than advising you to make better decisions, you have instead directed your [deputy minister] to try to censor parliamentarians and infringe upon our rights. Do better. We will not accept any form of censorship,” Rempel Garner told the immigration committee on Dec. 4.
