Statement made on 26 November 2009 by Senator Roméo Dallaire

Hon. Roméo Antonius Dallaire:

My question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate. The cases of Amanda Lindhout, Omar Khadr and the Taliban prisoners can all be grouped together, because they are all directly related to human rights and how the government makes its decisions regarding human rights abuses. I have no doubt that our diplomats work tirelessly to try to resolve these problems, but does the Leader of the Government not believe that the massive cutbacks to the foreign service made by the government are creating international problems when it comes to addressing these issues?
