Mr. Speaker, by dismissing the concerns of the United Nations, we are adding to the way our international reputation is collapsing.
The United Nations Committee Against Torture also has serious concerns about the way the Conservative government expressed willingness to use information obtained under torture, in direct violation of international law.
The committee also took Canada to task for its reluctance to protect the rights of Canadians, our own citizens, detained abroad.
Instead of attacking the United Nations, will the minister take action on these very serious recommendations?
