Huron Bruce Liberal MP Paul Steckle is upset with the government’s hands off approach to the Brenda Martin Case. Steckle says he’s ashamed of the way the federal government has been handling the situation. Steckle says due process has not been followed, adding he feels Martin has been unjustly dealt with. Martin has spent the last two years in a Mexican prison on suspicion of involvment in a money-laundering operation run by her former boss. A Mexican official now says a judge will rule in Martin’s case on Tuesday. In a recent statement, Simcoe-Grey MP and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Helena Guergis says “government officials at all levels, have been working diligently on Martin’s behalf since 2006. However, Steckle says the government has demonstrated a complete lack of interest in the case. Steckle says he was brushed off by the Prime Minister’s office when he tried to hand deliver about 65 hundred letters of support for Martin from his riding to Stephen Harper.
