Mr. Speaker, I understand that at 8.30 a.m. Vancouver time, which is 11.30 a.m. our time, the commission will make a statement about the matter which has been touched on in the Vancouver Sun article. I think we should wait and see what that statement is.
In the meantime I want to reiterate that the commission has been set up by legislation passed by this parliament. This government has no authority under that legislation to direct the internal management of the commission or how it carries out its work. It is up to the commission to hold its hearings and decide how to carry them out.
