Mr. Speaker, in response to a question by the official opposition, the Minister of National Defence said yesterday that the military police had reopened its investigation of allegations of document falsification and destruction against the chief of staff, General Jean Boyle. New documents submitted to the commission of inquiry have rekindled serious suspicions against the chief of staff.
How can the Minister of National Defence justify the chief of staff's remaining in command of Canada's armed forces, when the military police are investigating him in a matter involving the falsification and destruction of documents?
