I would not want to suggest that we again go over the murky circumstances under which the previous public works minister, Alfonso Gagliano, was expelled from cabinet, but his immediate appointment as Canada's ambassador to Denmark baffled and surprised everybody, and probably frustrated many diplomats who were highly qualified for the job.
Loin de moi l'idée de ressasser les circonstances troublantes de l'expulsion du Cabinet de l'ancien ministre des Travaux publics, Alfonso Gagliano, mais sa nomination immédiate à titre d'ambassadeur du Canada au Danemark a médusé et surpris tous les observateurs, et probablement frustré bien des diplomates hautement qualifiés pour la fonction.
