CIDA castigated over "doctored" document

International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda and senior members of her staff deliberately "doctored" a document to make it look like department officials recommended de-funding KAIROS when they had in fact recommended doing just the opposite. House of Commons Speaker Peter Milliken called the incident "very troubling," though he conceded his position allowed him to do little in response. The crudely modified document features the hand-scrawled word "NOT" inserted into a recommendation that originally suggested Oda and her staff "sign below to indicate you approve a contribution" of just over $7 million to KAIROS. The group subsequently lost its federal funding, which amounted to about 40 per cent of its total budget.
