In a rare interview Sunday, Norman was asked about how Canada is currently operating — politically and militarily — on the the world stage.

The Department of Defence confirmed it has already investigated allegations that information may have been obstructed during pre-trial hearings for the former vice-admiral.

Roy Green asks whether Canadians will ever learn the full details of the Mark Norman case.

Lt. Gen. Paul Wynnyk said in a letter that he was informed of a plan for Mark Norman to return to his old job and replace him. That changed when he reached a settlement with Ottawa.

The settlement between Vice-Admiral Mark Norman and the Defence Department was undertaken independently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday.

"Canadians, including those who served with you, won't be afforded the opportunity to salute your stellar career in a dignified military manner," writes Roy Green.

He had said he wanted to return to duty, but a statement released Wednesday says Norman has chosen to retire instead.

The committee voted 8-4 in favour of extending the deadline to Aug. 1. But that doesn't make it a done deal -- it requires formal approval for the committee to sit into the summer.

The committee voted on Tuesday night to conduct the probe after Crown prosecutors opted earlier this month to stay the case against Norman.

Andrew Scheer also says Norman deserves a personal apology from the prime minister.
