By the way, the situation has shed a very negative shadow on Canada's immigration and refugee system, because if the favouritism in which it is alleged the minister took part is fact, then the impartiality of the department is not only in question, we know that it is not there and the political favours are in fact put into the system where they should not be.
Je signale, en passant, que cette situation a sérieusement nui au processus canadien concernant les immigrants et les réfugiés, car si la ministre a effectivement pratiqué le favoritisme qui lui est reproché, non seulement l'impartialité du ministère est remise en cause mais elle devient inexistante, et nous sommes témoins d'un favoritisme politique qui n'a pas sa place dans le système.
