Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport. Yesterday I asked the Minister of Transport what he knew about a complaint laid with the RCMP about alleged wrongdoings by Canada Ports police officials.
The minister told the House that he understood the investigation was under way and he could not comment further.
Outside the House the minister changed his tune and said the RCMP were evaluating the complaint to decide whether or not to launch an investigation.
Still later, an RCMP spokesperson in Halifax said that the force was assessing the nature of the complaint.
Is there an investigation under way or not and, if not, why not?
