Mr. Speaker, there was no working together and that man was not arrested because of anything that the government did.
Ahmed Ressam, an associate of Osama bin Laden, lived in Montreal for years, despite the fact that he had been charged with theft and had received a deportation order. Yet, the king of Jordan had warned the Canadian government of the risks of bin Laden's terror.
How is it that the government lost track of an associate of bin Laden just as he tried to cross the American border?
