Mr. Speaker, I am referring to a statement made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs here in the House. I know that there is a cover-up, but the Minister of National Defence and the government House leader are the ones answering.
I am addressing the individual who was recently appointed. Surely one of the things he was appointed to do was answer a few questions here in the House. My question for him is this. It was here in the House and not in committee that he told us, “It was on January 29 that I and my department learned that Canadian troops had taken prisoners in Afghanistan”. Now, we are told that a Department of Foreign Affairs representative knew this on the 25th.
Will he rise in his place and say something?
