Mr. Speaker, we are over there to protect those who support freedom and the respect of citizens.
At this point, we are targeting the terrorists who killed Canadians and Americans in Washington, especially in New York.
We are waging a war against terrorism, and in any such war, it is perfectly normal to have agreements between the troops regarding who will take charge of the prisoners. In this case, it was decided that it would be the Americans.
The agreement is respected not only by Canada, but by the other countries involved.
