Mr. Speaker, this very minister, by appearing on TV and pronouncing Jean Boyle innocent even before the thing was finished, has castrated that commission and that is all there is to it. It is as simple as that.
The Somalia inquiry is having such a hard time doing its job because the department does not have any real leadership. We then see a minister step in and think that he can make announcements about it before it is even over.
The minister and Jean Boyle himself do not know up from sideways. There is precious little respect in the military across the country for this minister and for Jean Boyle. That is why the department is in such a mess and why the Somalia inquiry has taken so long.
I will ask one more time. If the Prime Minister is really serious about mopping up the mess in the military, why will he not start at the top with the minister and Jean Boyle?
