Madam Speaker, we were obviously looking for a much clearer statement from the government about its international obligations. We are not talking just about working to establish appropriate standards around the world, but honouring current international human rights declarations.
The arguments on our side have strictly been around such reputable standards as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, notwithstanding the Canadian Charter of Rights of Freedoms. Both documents clearly require governments to adhere to a certain set of standards with respect to children in the kind of situation in which Omar Khadr found himself.
What exactly is the position of the government in terms of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child? Does it respect and honour that convention, yes or no?
