Honest question: What is the purpose of a public inquiry and why is it needed? It seems an inquiry is necessary to find out what happened, but we already know exactly what happened, and there is a parliamentary committee looking into it, no? The calls for a public inquiry seem to be coming from cons who will do anything to make JT look bad. In this case, he doesn't need their help, he's doing a fine job of it on his own.

We don't know exactly what happened. We have tidbits, from anonymous sources given to journalists. Furthermore, members of the current government are among the accused. In that situation, a committee his government controls and a closed door investigation are insufficient. That is why we need an independent, public investigation of some form: because the public needs to see the results of this and because the liberals cannot be able to control the entirety of an investigation largely into themselves.
