Mr. Speaker, the commission said: "Our terms of reference are very clear that it is the chain of command system and leadership within the chain of command that is to be our concern".
Mark Boland was given orders and he gave orders. He is in the chain of command. He has knowledge that can provide connective tissue to shape the body of evidence in this case. He must be able to pose questions. The right question to the right person at the right time will reveal the whole truth of the Somalia inquiry.
Will the minister now intervene to ensure that Mark Boland is granted standing before the Somalia commission?
