Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Defence.
The Ottawa Sun reports that three generals intervened directly during the military police inquiry into events in Somalia implicating enlisted personnel and officers of the Airborne Regiment in Petawawa.
Can the defence minister confirm that three generals did intervene directly in the military police inquiry to protest the way the military police had conducted its activities in the case of Lieutenant-Colonel Carol Mathieu, claiming that those conducting the inquiry were going too far?
