Well that's interesting!
In April 1993, MacDougall attacked the new head of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, Sunera Thobani, by asking his own government in the House of Commons, "Earlier today I learned that [Thobani] first is not a Canadian, and second does not have a work permit for this country. Does the Deputy Prime Minister believe that the taxpayers of Canada should be funding such an organi­zation with an illegal immigrant as its head?" In fact, Thobani had just received her landed immigrant status, and MacDougall's question was widely criticized as racist.
