Mr. Speaker, there has been much speculation that the Russian government is trying to sweep the Knyazev drunk driving case under the diplomatic carpet.
Ten days have gone by since this tragedy occurred and not only are there no charges in Russia against Knyazev, but there does not even appear to be a criminal investigation under way.
My question is, has the Prime Minister been in touch yet with President Putin to ask him personally to move the case along, and if not, why not?
