Mr. Chairman, I would like to hear the answer to that question later on, once I have asked all of my questions. Then, if the minister or his officials do not have time to answer, they can always do so in writing.
Mr. Minister, to begin, I cannot share your opinion. When witnesses are prevented from giving their testimony, and when redacted documents are tabled with the Complaints Commission, I believe this means that the commission cannot do its work. That is basically what happened.
Can you tell me whether you think that a parliamentary committee should therefore do the work of the commission because the issue is so serious? Do you acknowledge that it is important for a parliamentary committee to look into the detainee file? That is the work the Complaints Commission should have been focusing on in the previous months. So do you believe that parliamentarians have an important role to play in trying to find out exactly what happened?
