	Munsinger Affair
		Acting on information from American sources, the RCMP warned Justice Minister Davie FULTON that Munsinger was a prostitute and a security risk.
		Munsinger returned to Germany while Sévigny remained in the Cabinet.
		The affair meant nothing to anyone except the principals until Liberal Justice Minister Lucien Cardin, angered by Conservative taunts about security leaks, raised Munsinger's name 4 March 1966 in the Commons.

	Guardian \| Pierre Sévigny
		Munsinger had been admitted to Canada in 1955 (under her married name) after being denied entry in 1952 (as Gerda Hesler) on grounds of espionage.
		It was rumoured that the RCMP had taken pictures of Gerda and her lovers in action through a special light fixture in the ceiling of her bedroom, that the police had a tape-recording of a wooden leg going bump in the night, that government planes had been used for secret rendezvous and so on.
		No charges were laid, and the inquiry concluded that Sévigny's liaison "might have exposed him to flmail or undue pressure, and that not even his fine family background or outstanding war record could ensure he would not be subject to and yield to such pressure".

		Rumours of political scandal might never have quite left Pierre Sévigny during his lifetime, but they were far from the hearts and minds of the several hundred mourners who filled St. Léon de Westmount church yesterday afternoon to pay their last respects to the decorated war hero and former Tory cabinet minister.
		Sévigny was thrust into the spotlight in 1966 when an affair he had with German immigrant Gerda Munsinger while deputy defence minister for prime minister John Diefenbaker was made public.
		Thanks to the headline (“Ex-MP embroiled in spy sex scandal”), the so-called Gerda Munsinger Affair overshadows his enormous contributions to Canada as a war hero, politician and as a highly-appreciated educator at Concordia University, where a scholarship for international students bears his name at the John Molson School of Business.
