MONTREAL -- The wife of Canada's former spy watchdog will spend at least one more weekend in detention while a judge considers whether to grant her bail.

A Quebec judge will rule next week on the bail application of Pamela Porter.

The 52-year-old is accused of helping husband Arthur Porter, the former head of Security Intelligence Review Committee and of the McGill University Health Centre, launder millions of dollars.

The Porters were arrested separately last month in Panama on an Interpol warrant.

Pamela Porter agreed to return to Canada to face charges.

But Arthur Porter is fighting his extradition on the grounds his arrest was illegal because he has diplomatic immunity.
