Mr. Chairman, in light of the gravity of these rounds, I'm going to ask a small series of questions, and hopefully witnesses can give compressed answers.
Can any of you point out to me a provision, in the optional protocol to which you referred, that prohibits prosecution of so-called child soldiers who committed their offences between the ages of 15 and 18? If such a provision exists, would it not then preclude Canada from prosecuting Mr. Khadr, as you have suggested we might choose to do?
The CBA has indicated that Mr. Khadr could face due process under the Canadian law. Precisely what crime would he be tried for? He didn't kill a Canadian abroad.
Can you specify or provide evidence of what degrading treatment he has faced in Guantanamo Bay?
Those are my questions.
