Mr. Speaker, the hon. member's question is purely speculative and hypothetical, since the Prime Minister has not been asked to appear before the commission. We already know, however, that two senior officials in the Prime Minister's office are prepared to testify: senior secretary Jean Pelletier and former director of operations Jean Carle. This goes to show how open we plan to be with the commission.
In the House of Commons on September 25th, 1998. See this statement in context.
