Mr. Speaker, let us look at a specific example.
Justice demands that Mark Boland testify, but he has made allegations about the conduct of military police and even now is in their custody. He may have the right to appear, but I question his freedom to do so as long as his treatment and even well-being are under the control of the very people against whom he may testify.
What will the minister do to ensure that a soldier like Mark Boland can without fear of retribution testify freely before the commission?
