Mr. Speaker, on April 29, 1993 the present Minister of Human Resources Development in praising soldiers who came forward with public evidence of wrongdoing in Somalia said, and I am quoting from Hansard : ``They have taken a very courageous stand because they saw something they thought was wrong. They deserve an open inquiry''. I understand the Minister of National Defence is moving toward that position.
Will the minister not agree that the actions of Major Armstrong and others who may possess information and may be reluctant to give it to the present system are fully justified when they know that system has not acted upon information and when that system asks for the destruction of the very evidence they possess?
