Mr. Speaker, there are fundamental principles of justice at stake and they concern a number of individuals who will be going before the inquiry. We should allow the inquiry to hear all the evidence and allow each individual the right that all Canadians deserve, and that is to be heard in an impartial setting and have those people who are conducting the inquiry come to reasoned judgments in a way that will reflect the principles of Canadian justice.
In the House of Commons on October 2nd, 1996. See this statement in context.
