Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett has offered a quick apology to Independent MP Jody Wilson-Raybould after sending a snarky text to the BC member of Parliament earlier today.
Bennett messaged the single word ``pension'' with a question mark in response to Wilson-Raybould's demand that the prime minister quit planning for an unwanted federal election and instead offer concrete action as more unmarked graves are found at a Saskatchewan residential school.
Wilson-Raybould will just miss the six-year threshold to receive a Parliamentary pension if a federal election is called this fall and she is not re-elected in her Vancouver-Granville riding.
The Indigenous M-P and former Liberal minister of justice called Bennett's message racist and misogynist and Bennett said she had directly offered her regrets to Wilson-Raybould for the ``inappropriate remarks,'' but Wilson-Raybould has not said if the apology has been accepted.
