 Wednesday-Night History
Robillard, currently the minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and president of the Privy Council, is also seen as a defender of Quebec causes within cabinet and of "asymmetrical federalism" as it relates to the province.
Robillard insists the new guidelines for senior bureaucrats won't water down or change the principle of "ministerial accountability" but rather will clearly lay out the responsibilities of deputy ministers, who must answer to parliamentary committees for how money is spent within their departments.
Robillard said she is preparing a "second package" of ethical standards for all public servants that will be part of her plan to reform or "modernize" the public service, an initiative also reinforced in the throne speech.

 Real Women of Canada - Newsletters - Immigration Scam For Homosexuals
Moreover, REAL Women submitted a brief dated March 6, 1998 to the Minister of Immigration Robillard, which pointed out that, as a Minister of the Crown, she is required to follow the law on the definition of "spouse" as set out by the Supreme Court of Canada in the 1995 case of Nesbit and Egan.
Robillard, therefore, is ignoring the law, the views of religious faiths, which form the basis of our society, and the views of the majority of the Canadian public in recommending that Canada's immigration law be amended to admit same-sex couples, as "spouses." What arrogance!
Robillard intends to undertake "public consultations" (read immigration lawyers, lobbyists and special interest groups), ending in March.
