Mr. Speaker, as for the constraints of the inquiry now under way and the trials, I will remind the minister that he has already taken a first step, at our request, and moved the inquiry ahead of any possible appeal process. We think that he should continue in this direction and instead of asking senior army officers to keep the military from talking about the events in Somalia, does the minister not believe that he should act as openly as possible and announce right now whether he intends to entrust the powers of a real commission of public inquiry to those who will have to investigate the situation in Somalia?
