Mr. Speaker, the important point to understand is that the Canadian position has been consistent that the international laws of conflict apply. Therefore, the Geneva conventions apply. Canadian troops will respect international law and the Geneva conventions. That much is clear.
The issue that has arisen in some debate in the United States is the question of determination of whether individuals are prisoners of war. That is a recent issue that was raised in debate in the U.S. We are working with our allies to ensure that the issue is resolved consistent with international law.
