Mr. Speaker, I think every Canadian is anxiously awaiting the results of the Krever commission.
I would hope that all Canadians, including the members of the opposition, understand that the government has absolutely no interest in protecting the government of Brian Mulroney. This government however does respect the fact that under section 39 of the Canada Evidence Act previous cabinets do have the right to cabinet confidentiality. The only time that right under section 39 has been set aside has been in the specific case of a minister who is facing criminal charges.
