Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Novak, you said earlier that if you were a minister and you were made aware of important information such as the serious allegations of a sexual nature we have heard against the former chief of the defence staff, the least you could do would be to launch an investigation. It appears that the Minister of National Defence saw things differently. In fact, he decided to look the other way.
In your opinion, is this a lack of courage or, worse, willful blindness?
