Mr. Speaker, earlier this week government lawyers were chastened by Justice Létourneau of the Somalia inquiry. He was concerned that a letter from crown counsel would put a chill over the inquiry.
The government has tried to gag members of the forces before. Now it is trying to filter both the information and the sources of information.
Why are both the justice department and the Department of National Defence working to intimidate soldiers and keep them from testifying before this important commission? Why?
