Madam Speaker, I happen to believe that we do have a fair process in place. I happen to believe that the truth will emerge through this process. It seems to me that over time we will see the facts come out.
When I was chairman of the Waterloo Regional Police many a time I had to bite my lip and swallow very hard as we initially saw the one side come forward. We had to patiently wait until we could get our side out and allow our facts to emerge.
Canadians will be able to decide and view very carefully all the facts as they see them. They will be able to judge and judge properly. The process is one that is intact. It is there for all Canadians and it is one that ultimately protects us in the best interests of this great country of ours.
I reject totally and outright the notion that somehow by funding these people we would have something more fair in place. The whole purpose of a public complaints commission is to allow ordinary people to come forward and tell their side of the story and to get their facts and information out and to be heard in an objective fashion. That seems to fall on deaf ears as far as the NDP opposition is concerned. It does not seem to understand that the public complaints commission is there for a very precise purpose. That precise purpose is to get at the truth. We will see precisely that happen.
