Mr. Speaker, this government is one of complete openness. It is the first time that we have had a complete inquiry. They have spent eight months debating all the elements not on Somalia but of the operation of the department. Now they have moved on the mandate to look into what happened in Somalia and they will report in due course. Let them do their jobs. I want everybody to let the chief of staff do his job and the minister of defence do his job.
In the House of Commons on September 17th, 1996. See this statement in context.
