Mr. Speaker, one of the hallmarks of Canadian society is our fairness. It is our fairness to allow everybody to be heard, to have everyone's rights respected.
What that means in the case of the Somalia inquiry is to receive all the documentation, hear from all the witnesses and then to have the impartial commissioners make a judgment. When they report, which is due in March of next year, the government will respond to that report. In the meantime, it would be fundamentally wrong and a denial of due process to comment on any of the proceedings.
I would ask the hon. member to follow his own admonition.
