Mr. Speaker, it is starting to smell like a cover-up in here.
The government is alleging that Vice-Admiral Mark Norman leaked cabinet secrets. It is dragging his honourable career and distinguished service in the Canadian Armed Forces through the mud. However, when it is up to the government to provide the evidence that Vice-Admiral Norman needs for his defence, it is just drawing a blank.
Can the Minister of National Defence confirm that his department has not destroyed any evidence related to Vice-Admiral Norman's case?
