Mr. Speaker, the House is pleased that our passports will be respected but there are still basic concerns about our security arrangements.
In April CSIS confirmed that it had been monitoring Hezbollah terrorist activity in Canada since at least 1999. That same year in Montreal CSIS questioned Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who recruited two of the terrorist pilots. The week following the September 11 attacks, in response to my question, the Prime Minister said in the House:
--there is no link to any group in Canada with what happened in New York and Washington last week.
Is that still the government's position?
