Mr. Speaker, I would like to return to comments made that Mr. Khadr stands out as one of 300 detainees in Guantanamo because of the nature of the charges against him. In fact he stands out for another reason as well. He is the sole detainee among 300 who was a child when he was arrested.
I have two questions for the minister of state. Does he or does he not agree that Omar Khadr was a child when he was detained? Does the government subscribe to its international obligations that we as a country signed onto, as they pertain to child soldiers?
