Mr. Speaker, on the matter of repatriating our fallen soldiers, our policy is that members of the press have full access to the ceremonies at the place of origin, which is the ramp in Kandahar. However when the bodies are received at Trenton it is a private ceremony of grief.
After being there yesterday when the four bodies were received and seeing all the families, it is most appropriate that it be a private affair.
On the third stage, when they have funerals and when they have ceremonies members of the press can attend.
