Mr. Speaker, this is all about the Liberal solicitor general inappropriately discussing a sensitive police matter that is still under investigation and doing it in public. It is about a breach of his duties. It is about failing to live up to the most basic responsibility that Canadians have entrusted to him. The solicitor general had a job to do. He was to do the job, be honest, be discreet and keep his mouth shut if necessary. He failed on all accounts. It is late but not too late. When will he do the right thing and tender his resignation? Do it now.
In the House of Commons on November 19th, 1998. See this statement in context.
