Statement made on 08 July 2010 by Senator Mobina Jaffer

Hon. Mobina S.B. Jaffer:

Honourable senators, my question is to the Leader of the Government in the Senate.

On Monday, Mr. Justice Zinn of the Federal Court of Appeal gave the government one week to come up with a list of remedies for its violation of Omar Khadr's constitutional rights. Today is Thursday, July 8. The deadline is on Monday, July 12. I am not asking the leader to breach any confidences but, with only four days remaining, is the leader able to advise the house what steps are being taken on behalf of Mr. Khadr? I gave the leader notice of this question so I would appreciate her answer.
