Mr. Speaker, not on evidence but by inference he was saying that Jean Boyle is a great guy. On national television the minister stood up and said: "He is a fine man, we support him and he is doing a great job". I do not know how much more clear I could get that he is trying to influence and interfere with the commission and its findings.
The only reason the Prime Minister will not fire these guys is because he is worried about potential political damage. Let me tell him from Canada: There is far more damage in keeping them than in letting them go.
I ask the minister, the Prime Minister or whoever is going to juggle and get themselves up on this one, why does the Prime Minister not just admit he was wrong, cut his losses and let these guys go?
