Legislative Committee: Immigration Minister Christine Melnick

Immigration Minister Christine Melnick: Selinger told The Canadian Press he knew "early on" that former Immigration Minister Christine Melnick had likely misled the chamber in the spring of 2012, but he did not make that information public, according to CTV. Melnick -- who has since been dropped from cabinet -- told a legislative committee she wasn't behind the email at the time. She has repeatedly declined interview requests and WINNIPEG -- Manitoba's opposition parties are calling for an inquiry and the ousting of an NDP MLA from caucus after Premier Greg Selinger admitted he knew for months that a former cabinet minister misled the legislature. Manitoba's ombudsman found the assistant deputy minister of immigration was following Melnick's direction when he sent out a controversial email inviting immigration agencies to a politically charged debate in the provincial legislature.
