Mr. Speaker, double standards and conflicts of interest abound in the Somalia inquiry. The defence minister is interfering with the inquiry at every turn. He has allowed General Boyle to receive preferential treatment by giving the government's own dream team of lawyers' access to confidential military police reports and, possibly the biggest conflict of interest of all, the designing of the Somalia inquiry mandate.
Will the defence minister confirm that General Boyle played a part in the drafting of the mandate and the terms of reference of the Somalia inquiry?
