Canadian Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier has resigned after admitting that he left sensitive documents, including NATO papers, unsecure in the apartment of a former girlfriend in April.
Prime Minister Stephan Harper has denied that the resignation was prompted by relevations that the ex-girlfriend once had links to a Quebec biker gang. Canada's Trade Minister David Emerson is to take over as interim foreign minister. Bernier is to the first minister to quit Canada's cabinet since the Conservatives won power in early 2006 on a promise to clean up federal politics.
