Mr. Speaker, the Solicitor General cannot remove himself from the responsibility of representing Canadians on this issue.
I will be talking to SIRC tomorrow. This investigation on allegations was from an individual considered by the CSIS investigator as an unknown quality who was self-serving and very opportunistic. It would appear that investigations of this nature can be held with very weak probable cause.
What assurance can the minister give to Canadians that contributors to political parties today are not being investigated by CSIS?
