Statement made on 12 July 2010 by Senator Mobina Jaffer

Hon. Mobina S.B. Jaffer:

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

Last Monday, Justice Zinn of the Federal Court of Canada gave the government one week to come up with a list of remedies for its violation of Khadr's constitutional rights. Today is the day of the deadline. It has been one week.

What exactly is the government's response to Justice Zinn? Today is our day to act. What is our government doing to bring Omar Khadr home?
