Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the House adopted the report of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development on Omar Khadr. Of the seven recommendations in this report, one recommends that the Government of Canada ask that Omar Khadr be released from Guantanamo and handed over to Canadian authorities as soon as possible. Does the government intend to respect the will of this House?
