Gagliano
File circa 1993 Montreal (Qc) Canada Alfonso Gagliano on Canada Day (July 1st) On Feb. 10, 2004, the day the auditor general's report landed with a dull thud in Ottawa, Gagliano had been recalled, sacked, and was preparing to return to Canada. Gagliano was a Quebec MP and cabinet minister. He served Canada as labour minister, deputy House leader and the minister responsible for Communication Canada, Canada Post, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the Royal Canadian Mint and Canada Lands Company Ltd. Gagliano and Chretien are old political allies, both from Quebec, both involved in what has come to be called the scandal-plagued sponsorship program in the late-1990s. The program was a reaction to the narrow federal win in the 1995 Quebec sovereignty referendum.
