Mr. Speaker, Canadian soldiers rescued one guy they witnessed being beaten and saved another from execution. The soldiers did the right thing. What is needed now is some accountability by the minister.
The Minister of National Defence has blamed military leaders and senior diplomats for filtering information. He said that he was only acting on their advice. If the minister really believed in accountability, he would have already accepted our call for a public inquiry. Now he must do the right thing, and that is stop blaming others, accept responsibility and offer his resignation.
Will the minister resign and will there be a public inquiry so we can finally get to the bottom of this matter?
