QUESTION PERIOD — Privy Council Office
Vice-Admiral Mark Norman
June 18, 2019
My question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate. Unfortunately for you, I am not going to wax poetic.
Your Prime Minister announced last week that he would issue a formal apology to Italian Canadians who were sent to Canadian internment camps during the Second World War. If his stage director calls for it, perhaps the Prime Minister will shed a tear at this event. One thing is certain, Justin Trudeau readily apologizes for others’ mistakes while covering up his own and going back on his election promise to be transparent. He even had one of his ministers, Marc Garneau, apologize for his father’s mistakes to those whose land was expropriated for Mirabel.
I would like to know if the Prime Minister intends to issue an official apology to Vice-Admiral Mark Norman for his unjustified suspension. We are still waiting for someone to explain why members of his staff and cabinet were involved in this matter.
My response will be less poetic. With respect to the preambles of the question, I will bring that to the attention of the appropriate personalities. As to the direct question, the honourable senator will know that the government has responded appropriately with respect to the Vice-Admiral Norman case.
