Mr. Speaker, Richard Colvin was the first Canadian to see inside the Afghan prison system.
The government used to brag about the fact that he and others were there inspecting those facilities, finding out what was going on, and informing the government of those realities.
Now, Richard Colvin wants to testify before the Military Police Complaints Commission. He has already sent the commission his testimony in writing. He wants Canadians to know the truth.
Why has the government launched eight different legal manoeuvres to shut up Richard Colvin? Why that cover up?
