Mr. Speaker, I remind the House what the Minister of National Defence said on January 28 during the take note debate. He said:
Canadians will treat people in our care as detainees...and that means treating them as prisoners of war until such other determination has been made.
We know that they have not been treated as prisoners of war and no determinations were made. This is once again about the integrity of the minister's word in parliament and nothing in the world will change that.
Does the minister stand by his earlier statement and, if so, has he not in his response provided inaccurate information to the House once again?
