Mr. Speaker, the commission has its own counsel and will do what it is advised in making a report.
On behalf of the Government of Canada and the commission, particularly in relation to legal representation, we fully agree that the commission's mandate includes the right to look at allegations of cover-up.
We are committed to co-operating with the commission in that work. We invite the commission, expressly and implicitly, to make whatever finding is appropriate on the facts as it finds them in relation to the allegations of cover-up.
