Prime Minister Stephen Harper used a closed-door roundtable
with Toronto-based ethnic media to complain about the reluctance
of bureaucrats and diplomats to defend the Federal Conservative's
hardline foreign policy stance.
Harper suggested he's being undermined by public servants in the
foreign service.
The Toronto Star obtained a recording of the comments from the June
15th meeting.
Harper's comments were a response to questions about his 2006 decision
to recognize the deaths of about 1.5 million Armenians in Turkey in
1915 as genocide.
The head of the union representing Canada's foreign service says he's
"shocked" by Harper's comments.
