Mr. Speaker, let us talk about openness and transparency.
The torture documents that were dumped in Parliament last Thursday show that the government is actually concealing information from Parliament, not for national security but to protect itself from embarrassment. Torture is a stark reality in Afghan jails. The government is hiding the ugly truth about torture and who knew what and when.
When will the government stop trying to shield itself from embarrassment and call a public inquiry so that Canadians can learn the truth?
