Mr. Speaker, let us see how transparent the government is.
On the Pentagon website the United States government has made available entire lists of prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay. It gives names, citizenship, and other details. The Canadian government will not give us its numbers. Clearly, disclosure is not a matter of operational security for the U.S. forces.
Will the government admit that it refuses to disclose this information because it fears for its own political security, or has it lost track of those detainees?
