Subject: Statement regarding media roundtable on January 26, 2013
Ottawa, January 30, 2013 ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” On January 26th the Honourable Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, held a news conference with Sri Lankan media in Toronto to discuss details of his recent visit to Sri Lanka, and his presentation to local media in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
A recent press release states that members of the Sri Lankan community were prevented from attending a roundtable discussion. This is not accurate. Unfortunately, non-media organizations were misinformed that this was a public roundtable event, and that is why they were unable to participate.
The presentation was identical to the one given to local media in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on January 7, 2013. Topics include: recent changes to CanadaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s asylum system, the dangers of human smuggling operations, and recent efforts to preserve the integrity of CanadaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s immigration system by cracking down on criminal human smugglers.

Kenny has been going rounds begging for votes on the expense of peace-loving Sri Lankan citizens.
This guy now looks like a kid who caught in his hand in a cookie-jar – telling all the lies to justify his actions.
What a hypocrite…!
