Mr. Speaker, with such an important military operation being undertaken by an elite unit of the Canadian Forces, it is highly unlikely that the Prime Minister was not fully informed that Canada had taken prisoners of war and that they had been transferred, without any trial, to the Americans.
Can the Deputy Prime Minister confirm that the Privy Council had not received any information on this prior to the Prime Minister's statement on Monday that it was a hypothetical situation and that there were no prisoners of war?
