Mr. Speaker, it would appear that the minister thinks this is justified because it is happening everywhere else in the world.
On June 2, 2006, the Red Cross warned Canadian officials that there was a lack of judicial safeguards and that “all kinds of things are going on” in prisons where detainees had been transferred by Canadians.
Soon afterwards Red Cross officials met with senior Canadian officials on the issue of torture, both in Ottawa and Geneva.
Why will the Conservatives not tell Canadians who was at those meetings and what they discussed with the Red Cross?
