Mr. Speaker, the independence of this inquiry was put in jeopardy a long time ago by the solicitor general and by the Prime Minister's office.
Gerald Morin was overheard prejudging the APEC inquiry and the government has filed a complaint about bias. The solicitor general was heard doing exactly the same thing and it was business as usual.
Why the double standard? With the solicitor general's loose lips nothing happens, and then with Gerald Morin's everything grinds to a halt. Why the double standard?
