Mr. Speaker, that is utter nonsense and the Deputy Prime Minister knows it.
The Prime Minister has tried to scuttle the APEC investigation from day one. He refuses to answer questions in parliament. He refuses to testify before the commission. His gossipy solicitor general publicly said that the RCMP would take the fall for the Liberals. He paid for his lawyers but not the students' lawyers. He is withholding key evidence, including police audiotapes. And now reportedly, the commission chairman himself has scuttled things yet again.
We do not need to wait. When will he strike a new independent judicial inquiry?
