Mr. Speaker, let us be very clear. Let us talk about the facts.
The then vice chief of the defence staff, General Walter Natynczyk, a decorated war hero, someone who has served our country in uniform for decades, stated very clearly more than two and a half years ago that the Afghan in question was not detained, was not captured by Canadian Forces, and he repeated that statement yesterday.
I ask the Leader of the Opposition why he cannot trust General Walter Natynczyk.
