Public appointment commission controversy
In 2006, Morgan was appointed by Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper to chair the new public appointment commission. However, the appointment was rejected by opposition MPs due to statements Morgan had made linking refugees with crime in Canada and because Morgan's past role as a supporter and fundraiser for the Conservative Party of Canada would conflict with the commission's role of eliminating the use of public appointments for partisan patronage purposes.[2]
Conservatives countered with the fact that the previously-governing Liberals had sponsored a program under Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada targeting a community "made up of recent Arabic and Somalian immigrants" with the goal of reducing crime.[3][4]
