I very much doubt I'll be liveblogging all -- or even most -- of the myriad panel discussions and roundtables that the Liberal caucus has cooked up to fill the parliament-shaped hole in our lives, but with a guest list like this:
- Linda Keen (former President and CEO of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, by video)
- Peter Tinsley (former Chair of the Military Police Complaints Commission)
- Paul Kennedy (former Chair of the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP)
- France Houle (Law teacher at University of Montreal)
- Ned Franks (Professor of Political Studies at Queen's University)
UPDATE: Here is the link to the RCMP PCC's report Police Investigating Police that Kennedy mentions.
UPDATE-UPDATE: And Presto! here's the AG's report from March 2009 on the public appointments process that Tinsley referred to repeatedly.
