Her finding was unequivocal: the minister's political office tried to block the disclosure of an embarrassing document. The file has been referred to the RCMP.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2411800\" data-originallang=\"fr\">How does the current <a data-HoCid=\"147118\" href=\"/politicians/christian-paradis/\" title=\"Christian Paradis\">Minister of Natural Resources</a> expect us to believe that he did not sanction this illegal activity, when obstruction and political interference were common within his office?</p>",
