Mr. Speaker, my question is for the minister responsible for issuing permits into Canada, not the Solicitor General, and it is not about the Public Complaints Commission.
We know that permits to let Suharto's commandos into Canada were issued. Under the law only the Minister of Immigration can issue them.
These permits were issued after the RCMP were asked by the Indonesians if it was okay to shoot Canadians.
On what basis did the Minister of Immigration issue the permits? Did the Prime Minister's office ask her to issue them? Did her office immediately inform the RCMP that the permits had been issued?
