Mr. Speaker, I am having a little trouble following this.
The point I tried to make is that our troops were in place in Afghanistan. We did not give them instructions to shoot everybody they saw. It is not surprising that they might have been engaged with the enemy and they might have taken prisoners. They were doing their job and doing it courageously. They deserve our respect and our support.
The minister has said that he wishes he had informed the Prime Minister earlier but that would not have caused anything to happen to the prisoners that did not otherwise happen.
