Mr. Speaker, there are better ways to handle this that do not involve conducting an investigation.
The Minister of National Defence turned a blind eye to allegations he knew were sexual in nature because the ombudsman had warned him about them. The Prime Minister has repeatedly claimed that he was not aware of the allegations against General Vance. This means that, for three years, the Minister of National Defence knew that the highest-ranking officer in the military was potentially guilty of sexual misconduct and for three years he never told the Prime Minister.
Is a minister who hid such serious information from the Prime Minister still worthy of his trust?
