Cara Zwibel of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association said by invoking solicitor-client privilege, the government is undermining its own inquiry’s mandate and it should voluntarily disclose the legal advice it received.

What’s the point of holding an inquiry if they are going to let them refuse to answer any meaningful questions. Starting to look like this proceeding is just a sham to claim justice was done while sweeping the dirt under the rug OMG! if this is not the most crooked investigation going then ……WOW!
