Mr. Speaker, the role of the Red Cross is not the only issue on which the minister is misleading Canadians.
Last week we learned that the Minister of National Defence was challenging the jurisdiction of the Military Police Complaints Commission to investigate alleged abuse of detainees in Afghanistan. The minister's action contradicts the commitment made in the House, “there are three investigations going on. We are not going to interfere with those investigations”.
Why did the minister mislead the House saying he would not interfere when he is interfering?
