Mr. Speaker, it has been said time and time again but the right hon. member in his preamble does not seem to get it right.
We operate under the Geneva conventions. We operate under the law of armed conflict. We ensure that people are treated as prisoner of war status while they are in our possession. We transfer them to an allied country in accordance with the law of armed conflict in the Geneva conventions.
If any of our people, hopefully never, but if any of our people were taken we would expect and demand that they be treated under the same Geneva conventions.
