Mr. Speaker, my question is with respect to the drunk driving tragedy this past weekend involving a Russian diplomat. This is at least the third drunk driving offence in recent times involving this diplomat.
We have also received reports that the diplomat, Mr. Knyazev, had a letter from the Department of Foreign Affairs apologizing to him for his treatment at the hands of the Ottawa police the last time he was arrested for drunk driving.
Will the minister confirm the existence of this letter and ensure that the nature and contents of that letter are revealed to the House?
