Mr. Speaker, yesterday in committee the Minister of Public Safety made hollow assurances that he would file a formal complaint with the United States for the way Maher Arar was treated. However, in the House, the minister said he had sent a letter suggesting to the Americans that they remove Maher Arar's name from their list. This does not constitute a formal complaint.
What is the Minister of Public Safety waiting for to file a formal complaint with U.S. authorities, which the O'Connor report clearly recommends?
