Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Defence.
The minister's refusal to accept the establishment of an independent office of inspector general means the truth about Somalia will likely never be told. The minister has caved in to the senior military brass, the same group that so recently elevated secrecy and lack of accountability to an art form.
Will the minister reverse his misguided decision and appoint a truly independent inspector general with a mandate to report to parliament on a regular basis?
