Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll be sharing my time with my colleague, Wajid Khan.
Thank you, Minister, for coming.
Our soldiers are dying on the battlefield. Therefore, Canada is at war. During the time of war, we need very strong leadership. I must say that you have provided that leadership to the country. We are very proud of your leadership.
During a recent television debate with a Liberal member, when I pointed out that it was during the Liberal regime that this agreement dealing with detainees was signed, he denied it. He said they were losing the election and they did not know anything about it. They had no idea about it.
I'm a little confused. I would like to know when this agreement was signed. How can the Liberals say they were absolutely ignorant of what was happening with this agreement that today they are making all this noise about? If such is the case, then there is incompetence on their part.
Minister, you talked about the compact, which is the main agreement we have with the international community, the UN and everybody. Perhaps if your office could provide the agreement to the members of the committee we could understand what the compact is and the milestones we have achieved.
