Questions swirled Monday in Ottawa whether the government is coming clean on how it handled a spying complaint against itself.

First Nations child advocate Cindy Blackstock says the spying started after she filed a discrimination complaint against the department at the Human Rights Commission.

APTN National News first reported the story in November 2011.

A short time later Aboriginal Affairs launched an investigation into itself and found it didn’t do anything wrong.

According to Aboriginal Affairs the Privacy Commissioner’s office wasn’t interested in taking it further.

But APTN’s Jorge Barrera reports nothing could be further from the truth.

    So did the Privacy Commissioner have concerns or not? You have the Deputy saying no issue and the Commissioner saying issue or is that just some back tracking? Thought so.
