An interesting exchange—and perhaps even a straight answer—from Question Period yesterday.
Hélène Laverdière. Mr. Speaker, I have a simple question for the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Can the minister confirm that none of the Afghan detainees transferred by Canada are still in the hands of the national directorate of security—the NDS—an organization known for abusing detainees?
Peter MacKay. Mr. Speaker, I can confirm that is the case.
