Mr. Speaker, the government cannot have it both ways on the Somalia inquiry. The Prime Minister has complained that it is too slow, too expensive and too hard on witnesses. The reason the inquiry has been delayed again and again is that the department was not producing the relevant documentation. If this government wants someone to blame in this whole affair, it should simply look in the mirror.
Why will the Prime Minister not simply admit that if the Minister of National Defence and Jean Boyle were really capable of doing their jobs, the commission would have had all the documents and the Somalia inquiry would be on track today?
