Mr. Speaker, the Minister of National Defence's response to the testimony of Richard Colvin was a slanderous low blow. Today, 23 former ambassadors have attacked the government's response to Mr. Colvin's testimony and its approach to Afghan detainees.
The minister on nine separate occasions has told the House that there is not a scintilla of evidence of mistreatment, even as the entire country was shown evidence that torture did take place. Canadians no longer have confidence in this minister. Will he apologize for his slander of Mr. Colvin and will he resign?
