Mr. Speaker, there was a full description by the Minister of National Defence earlier today in the House about who knew what and when.
I think it was made clear that he disclosed this information to the Prime Minister and cabinet on Tuesday. Again I say it would not have made any difference if the Prime Minister had known sooner because the troops that were engaged in the capture were doing exactly what they were expected to do.
They turned over their prisoners to the United States in accordance with international law, which we believe will be fully respected.
