Mr. Speaker, it is even more confusing than ever. I would laugh if it were not that the lives of human beings are at stake.
The Minister of National Defence said that “our military can have access to our detainees”, but the Chief of the Defence Staff, not aware of the so-called agreement, said, “That's not our area of expertise”. He said, “It wouldn't be soldiers” who would monitor the detainee situation.
Who is right? The minister or the general? And if there is an agreement, why will the Prime Minister not show it to Canadians right now?
