Mr. Speaker, we are usually quite partisan at this time but I want to put that aside, if only briefly, and commend the government for the action it has taken in dealing with the deaths of our soldiers in Afghanistan. Nonetheless, the Canadian Alliance and Canadians want this matter duly investigated and action taken to ensure that similar circumstances do not lead to needless deaths again.
Can the Deputy Prime Minister give Canadians an update on the nature and scope of the investigation into these deaths?
