We've heard other questions about the other child soldiers, the ones in Afghanistan, the ones who were held in Guantánamo, and it appears from everything we're hearing that they've all been repatriated to their home countries. In this case—maybe you've explained it and maybe not quite—why at Guantánamo Bay have the officials at the detention centre not provided Omar with the same level of consideration in how he is detained or in the fact that he has not been repatriated to Canada? Is that because we're not voicing our opinions as a nation strongly enough, or is this just part of the case that has been tightened in such a way that they can't get out of it themselves?
