Robert Fife did not ask Minister Monsef about her place of birth for no reason...he had been given information from another source which prompted him to inquire further...subsequently, more information came forward to support the truth...and when Mr Fife asked Minister Monsef directly on CTV's Question Period

“So you were born in Afghanistan, correct?” her answer was 

“I believe I was.”

Others in the community knew the truth...political figures in Peterborough knew the truth...Minister Monsef answered " I believe I was " to a question that anybody else knowing they were born in a given place would have simply said..." that's right"

and now it appears that the government is going to consider a moratorium on the revocation of citizenship from Canadians who misrepresented themselves in their applications,.....something's not adding up but it's starting to look like damage control
