Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to second the motion put forward by Mr. Abernethy here today to request an external and independent investigation as to what happened to Allisdair Leishman. I also support the mother, Margaret Leishman, a mother who just
wants answers. I have seen her lobby efforts over the past year and I am really confounded that our system only gave her cursory answers and was unwilling to share any information with her.
I was involved in private industry for many, many years and anytime there was an incident, you always do an incident report or you do a post-mortem to learn from how to better yourselves, how it won’t happen again, how to prevent it, and in this case the system said yes, they’ve done it, but they’re not willing to share it with anybody else. In our government we should be more transparent and work together for the betterment of everybody and that’s all that motion calls for and that’s all the mother is calling for as well.
So, once again, I look forward to support from colleagues as we move this forward and once again it’s just calling for an independent, external investigation to get the answers out and I don’t know why we had to do it in the House like this, but here it is and we have to do the right thing, Mr. Speaker.
