Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
Yesterday, in this House, the Prime Minister expressed his complete confidence in General Boyle and in his Minister of Defence. However, during his testimony before the Somalia inquiry, General Boyle admitted having violated the spirit of the Access to Information Act, and what is more, his own military police even concluded that he had lied to them.
Is there not an ethical problem when a Prime Minister so blithely states his confidence in an individual who has admitted violating the spirit of a statute and who has made false declarations to the military police?
