Mr. Speaker, last fall the Prime Minister insisted again and again that the RCMP were responsible for security at the APEC summit. Yet RCMP documents reveal that the Prime Minister was deeply involved in security planning and in fact directed the RCMP to do everything possible to cater to Suharto's sensitivity.
It is clear that the dictator's paranoia was about political embarrassment. Is that why the Prime Minister gave the RCMP the green light to muzzle demonstrators?
