Mr. Speaker, one thing was missing from the response of the chief of defence staff today to the Stopford report and that is an apology.
According to the report, the chain of command knew about the alleged poisoning of Matt Stopford and did nothing for seven years. Matt Stopford may not receive any justice, but he should at least receive an apology.
Will the Minister of National Defence rise today to apologize to Matt Stopford on behalf of his department and on behalf of the Government of Canada?
