Mr. Speaker, there are clearly cases that have come to light even after that new agreement the Prime Minister talked about.
The JAG's memo actually confirms Richard Colvin's evidence. In his letter of December 16, 2009, Colvin refuted the government's denials of knowledge of torture or of the warnings of their own officials. The JAG, Richard Colvin, the U.S. State Department, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Canada's own human rights reports all acknowledge the existence of torture.
When will the government stop the obstruction, be open with Canadians, do right by our troops and call a public inquiry?
