Mr. Speaker, the minister is just grasping at straws. Words in the House of Commons do not change the legal mandate.
Canadians want to know what the Prime Minister knew about the allegations against his political idol and chief Quebec adviser. Dr. Johnston's written marching orders handcuff him from looking at what steps the government took over 22 months to shield Mr. Mulroney.
Will the government make it clear, in writing, that the government itself is included in Dr. Johnston's review?
