Mr. Speaker, it is not a question of the messenger. It is a question of the message.
We are required in government to deal with facts before we make decisions. There has not been any evidence brought forward by Mr. Colvin with respect to the serious allegations that he has made. They are unsubstantiated. They involve hearsay. They also contain information that comes from the Taliban. We are required to act on a higher standard than that.
I should remind members opposite that there has not been a single, solitary proven allegation involving a transferred Taliban prisoner.
