Mr. Speaker, the government whip is quoted as saying about Canadian Maher Arar:
We were astounded that the U.S. deported him. But now that he's in Syria, there's not much we can do for him
What is astounding is that the government told Mr. Arar's family to be patient for six months, that Canada was doing everything it could to get him home.
I ask the Prime Minister, if shrugging it off when a Canadian citizen gets shipped off to an authoritarian state, stripped of his rights, and tried in secret, is everything the government could do, then what would doing nothing look like?
