MOST CANADIANS BELIEVE BEV ODA SHOULD RESIGN FROM CABINET : Vision Critical.

Many Canadians believe International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda should resign from the federal cabinet over the controversy related to a document that appeared to recommend a grant to faith-based overseas human-rights group Kairos, a new Vision Critical / Angus Reid poll has found.
The controversy began in October 2010, when bureaucrats in the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) approved a $7-million grant to Kairos. The original document—which shows the word “NOT” inserted in the recommendation to provide the grant—was shown to respondents of this online survey.
In December 2010, Oda appeared before a House of Commons foreign affairs committee, and denied knowing who inserted the word “NOT” on the document. Earlier this week, Oda acknowledged that the word “NOT” was inserted into the document on her order.
In the online survey of a representative sample of 1,011 Canadian adults, 58 per cent of respondents believe that Oda should resign from cabinet for her actions, while 12 per cent of respondents believe the International Co-operation Minister has apologized and the matter has been dealt with appropriately.
One third of respondents (33%) think Oda was instructed by the Prime Minister to alter the document, while one-in-four (24%) think she acted on her own.
