Mr. Speaker, the public complaints commission has been destroyed by this government, by the solicitor general and by several other things, certainly not by the opposition.
It is obvious that the Prime Minister prefers the public complaints commission to an independent inquiry. The commission cannot investigate the Prime Minister's involvement, but do you know what, Mr. Speaker? A judge could. The commission cannot subpoena government documents that the Prime Minister says it cannot have, but do you know what, Mr. Speaker? A judge could.
I ask the Prime Minister, is that not the real reason the Prime Minister continues to talk about the public complaints commission when he should turn it over to a public independent inquiry to get to the bottom of what his involvement was?
