Mr. Speaker, hopefully the Arar case will not become a black mark in Canadian history. The way this man was treated goes against basic human rights. Canada's reputation is at stake. Canada is known around the world as the protector of human rights.
Mr. Arar's family and friends, the Liberal backbench, and the opposition are unified in calling for a full public inquiry.
My question is for the Prime Minister. To clear the air, why will the government not hold a full public inquiry?
