Mr. Chair, as I have stated, Mr. Khadr faces serious charges. However, the Government of Canada does provide consular assistance, which we have been doing for Mr. Khadr. We will wait for the outcome of the appeals and everything.
In reference to the child soldiers, Canada has been at the forefront in trying to rehabilitate child soldiers in the war. The former minister of foreign affairs, who is now the Minister of National Defence, attended a conference in Winnipeg where he clearly stated Canada's commitment to help the UN in getting child soldiers retrained and back into society. That is one of the main thrusts of the development assistance that Canada has been doing.
Canada is at the forefront working with the United Nations in doing that. As a matter of fact, I would like my hon. friend to know that a Canadian is leading one of the most successful missions in Burundi in trying to get child soldiers back into normal society. Canada is working very hard on that front.
