"In debate over changes to the Immigration and Refugee Board, Harper accused MP Marlene Jennings of putting her spouse on the board and Lucienne Robillard, a former immigration minister, of appointing her ex-spouse. If true, these would be serious breaches of ethics. But Robillard's husband was appointed to the board in 1990 under a former Conservative prime minister, Brian Mulroney. And Jennings' husband joined the board before she was even elected to Parliament. This comes after Harper tried to smear Liberal backbench MP Navdeep Bains by insinuating his family was linked to terrorism, implying that is why the Liberals opposed renewing two excessive anti-terror measures enacted after 9/11 that were set to expire."
