Mr. Speaker, I believe the hon. member said 1995. In 1995 I had a far less hectic life in the private sector.
The member for Battlefords—Lloydminster stated in July 2002 that we should have a fully independent public inquiry to get to the bottom of this. On September 8 the Leader of the Opposition said, “I think [Gomery] is the best chance of getting some answers”. The Prime Minister appointed Justice Gomery to do exactly that, get some answers.
Why is the opposition attacking the independence of a judicial inquiry that it actually sought?
