Mr. Speaker, I ask that the hon. member read the terms of reference of the commission of inquiry on Somalia.
In the terms of reference, which I quoted from last week, there were the terms "cover-up", "missing documents" and "tampering of documents". This terminology was used in the original terms of reference.
In specific reply to the hon. member's question, the commission has determined that even though the mandate of the commission was to November 28, 1994, when it comes to documentation and the allegations of tampering, destruction or cover-up, the commission feels it can go beyond that timeframe.
If the hon. member has some concerns about other events that did not take place in the watch of the other government, all this will be under the eye of the commission. It will get to the answers the people of Canada expect and which they will receive.
