Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very moving speech.
In light of the facts before us, which were reported by the media, and from what we heard in committee, the minister flatly refused to meet with the ombudsman 12 times. Obviously, he was trying to protect General Vance, and that is unacceptable. It is unacceptable for all of the women who were brave enough to file a complaint. That is unacceptable because we would not let that happen if we were talking about our daughter or sister.
Why does my colleague think that we are still allowing the Liberals to protect each other?
