Afghanistan committee  Yes, absolutely.

Afghanistan committee  No, Mr. Bachand.

Afghanistan committee  I am sorry, but it was not my decision. Mr. Bachand, I want to remind you that the Royal Military College Saint-Jean's end of year parade is on May 22. I hope to see you there.

Afghanistan committee  Okay. Thank you.

Afghanistan committee  Absolutely.

Afghanistan committee  So I assume there's no question in there. Is that right?

Afghanistan committee  I'll be frank. Taliban detainees' opinions aren't really of much interest to me. I'm sorry, they just aren't.

Afghanistan committee  I'm sure they do, but you know... Okay.

Afghanistan committee  No, not when I was there.

Afghanistan committee  Yes, exactly.

Afghanistan committee  Absolutely. As I mentioned earlier, I arrived around May 14, 2008. They started transferring detainees again in February 2008, because, between November 2007 and February 2008, they improved the reporting system and put in place a program to build capacity in the facilities themselves.

Afghanistan committee  No, it was an officer at DFAIT. But, as I said earlier, we were all a team.

Afghanistan committee  No, as I said, it has been 13 months since I have followed the situation in Afghanistan closely.

Afghanistan committee  Well, yes, any Canadian soldier will not obey an unlawful command.

Afghanistan committee  Absolutely, we intervene. If you see a serious crime in progress in a theatre of operations, any rule of engagement I've read, regardless of which operations I've been on, obliges you as a Canadian soldier to act.
