On the recordSeptember 19, 1996
I guess the question is, how long does it take for a reasonable investigation? Our problem is 2 years seems like a very long time. In the past, and we can bring those charts to the floor except they probably would be ruled out of order, but we have charts showing that all sorts of serious complaints before were dealt with in a matter of weeks or months, and sometimes days. But 2 years, 2 long years? And there is some suspicion that we may not see this until after the term is over and that people will then think, oh, well, it is moot now and we start all over again. I think, if that happens, this body will really be operating under a very dark cloud.
