Mr. Speaker, in light of the fact that the Minister of National Defence refused to extend the scope of the inquiry to the events in Petawawa, that he decided to restrict access to the documents to be used in the inquiry, that he refused to undertake to release the commission's report and that, all of a sudden, one of the main witnesses in this case is being sent abroad five days before the beginning of the inquiry, are we to conclude from the government's attitude that this is a further attempt to cover up the truth rather than to shed light on the way members of the Airborne Regiment from Petawawa behaved both in Canada and in Somalia?
