Hon. Claude Carignan: Honourable senators, my question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate.

Leader, I’m sure you know that there are some basic tenets of a free and democratic society that we call pillars, and one such pillar is a fundamental justice system in which trials are public.

It appears that RCMP investigators and federal prosecutors participated in a trial, but we do not know where or when it was held, nor do we know which judge, accused or lawyers were involved. Also, there is no transcript.

What is the justice minister’s role in this North Korea-esque phantom trial?
