Mr. Speaker, my question is for the solicitor general, following on the question of my colleague.
The solicitor general says that Corporal Read should go to the Public Complaints Commission with his concerns. Corporal Read went to the Public Complaints Commission in 1998. He was told that was the inappropriate body to investigate this. We have the RCMP officials investigating one of their own members who is laying criminal complaints against them.
Is it not time that the solicitor general looked at this very seriously and appointed an independent prosecutor to get to the bottom of this issue?
