Mr. Speaker, every day brings new information about the Afghan detainee scandal.
Yesterday we learned that the government was preparing its damage control strategy in March 2007, months before torture was reported in the press. That means that the government knew full well that credible reports of torture would eventually come to light, so the government's credibility is shot. It is caught in a scandal of its own making because it will not tell Canadians the truth.
Why will the Prime Minister not put an end to this charade and call a public inquiry?
