Mr. Speaker, this is another allegation that is completely false. I have here a quote from Brigadier General Denis Thompson.
This is what Mr. Thompson had to say about this subject matter:
...what we train on is the third Geneva convention. We make sure we handle all detainees in accordance with the regulations that are laid out there...
This is from a senior member of the Canadian Forces, a commander leading the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan during the period in question. Why will the hon. member not take the word of the hard-working, dedicated, professional leadership of the Canadian Forces instead of a journalist?
