Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Ms. Weatherill. We appreciate your appearance.
I have to say in the beginning, Ms. Weatherill, that government members have gone to great lengths to portray my and my party's criticism of the process as criticism of your credibility. I want to assure you up front that your credibility is not in question. But my concern is—and I emphasize the word “concern”—that you could be used to provide cover for the PMO and the minister's office in the way this process is established.
In your opening remarks, you go to fairly great lengths, and I think a lot will be found out by your investigation. You establish in here that there will be “an in-depth review of events that led to the tragedy last summer”, and you outline the areas to focus on. You say “I can assure you the investigation is focused on identifying improvements so this never happens again.”
But contrary to what I think the public thought when the Prime Minister made statements in September, you're not going to determine responsibility. Am I correct?
