Thank you, ladies, for being with us this afternoon. Your presentations were interesting. I am going to start by asking you a question.
You referred to treaties that you say it is important that the government sign, including the treaty against torture. Do you not believe that the government is making mistakes at this point? As well as not signing certain important treaties, we have reached the point where treaties that have already been signed by Canada are no longer being honoured.
Take the Omar Khadr case, we know he was a child soldier. Canada is a signatory to the agreement on child soldiers. As well as not honouring that treaty, we are also seeing Canada challenging judgments in the courts and also not honouring resolutions adopted by Parliament in this regard.
I would like you to address that subject. How can we counteract that? As well as not signing new treaties, we have reached the point where we are not honouring treaties we have signed.
