Mr. Speaker, the commission has been sitting now for seven or eight months. It has asked questions day after day on national TV. Lawyers are asking questions. They are grilling public servants as if they were almost criminals. Everything is out in the open. We could not have a more open government. The three commissioners have been named. I know only one personally. One of them is a judge who I guess was appointed by a government other than ours. I do not know him at all and have never met him. No one can say that it is not an inquiry which is independent, open and has all the resources. In fact it is getting very expensive to look into the problem.
We wanted to look into the Somalia incident as this House was committed to do. It has now taken seven months and it will probably take many more months. Even the Watergate affair in the United States was settled in six or seven weeks.
