Mr. Speaker, in light of what is happening all around us, it is very hard to believe that there is only one way for the Prime Minister to find out about national security matters. To leave critical national security matters in the hands of one person, namely the defence minister, is just beyond belief. That is why we have a foreign policy adviser and a deputy secretary of security and intelligence who report directly to the Prime Minister.
I would like to know from the Deputy Prime Minister today: When did the foreign policy advisor and the deputy secretary of security and intelligence find out about the arrest of prisoners in Afghanistan?
