Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives used the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission as a shield, claiming to have funded it when in fact they have paid it nothing. The director of the commission in the Kandahar region says he cannot monitor all the prisoners and that torture and abuse are rife in Afghan prisons.
The defence minister is either grossly incompetent or he callously disregards human rights. He is not fit to run the Canadian armed forces.
When will the Prime Minister start supporting our troops, do us all a favour and fire the defence minister?
