Statement made on 24 March 2009 by Senator Yoine Goldstein (retired)

Hon. Yoine Goldstein:

Honourable senators, every other western country, without exception, patriated some time ago the prisoners of their nationality in Guantanamo, charged or not, and subjected them to their national criminal law process rather than allowing them to languish in Guantanamo.

Canada is the exception. Is the minister telling us that she has no faith in the Canadian criminal law system?
