Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is, I am sure, inadvertently misstating the role of a judge if he has been appointed to take part in an inquiry under the Inquiries Act. That judge would be appointed by the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister would set the terms of reference of the judge and the length of time the inquiry would take place. This is not the case with the public complaints commission. The report of the judge in an inquiry would go to the Prime Minister and the Privy Council Office.
Thanks for the vote of confidence by the Reform Party for the process that is under way or would be under way if there were an inquiry.
