Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister and now the minister keep repeating the same old thing, let the inquiry do its work. We agree.
Canadians also want the Prime Minister to do some work. The Prime Minister says do not interfere with the inquiry. The minister says the same thing. At the same time, this minister repeatedly protects and endorses General Boyle, one of the key figures being investigated by that inquiry. The government cannot have it both ways.
If the government is serious about letting the inquiry do its work, why does it not instruct the Minister of National Defence to withdraw his protection and endorsation of General Boyle?
