Mr. Speaker, yesterday the solicitor general told Canadians that CSIS always investigates any people who enter this country.
When Corporal Read took his Hong Kong visa scam investigation to a CSIS China specialist in early 1997, his allegations were not of any interest to CSIS. Does the House know why? It was because CSIS was already aware that Canada had lost control of its foreign missions around the world. It was old news and it was not prepared to investigate.
Can the solicitor general understand that we need a special investigator on this case?
