Mr. Speaker, the Minister of National Defence wrongly says that there is not a “scintilla” of evidence regarding Afghan detainee torture, yet the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission reports that at least 98.5% of interviewed victims have been tortured.
The minister wrongly says that Mr. Colvin's testimony is “not credible”, though corroborated by reports from the commission, the UN and Foreign Affairs itself over the same period. The real problem is there is no scintilla of credibility in the government's position.
Will the government release the necessary documents in the pursuit of truth or will it continue to obstruct justice and obstruct the truth?
