The book paints a picture of a government determined to keep Omar Khadr away from Canadian soil, argues France-Isabelle Langlois, director-general of the francophone branch of Amnesty International Canada
That would appear to contradict the Harper government’s insistence that it was refusing to request the former child soldier’s return to Canada out of deference to U.S. sovereignty and the American judicial process.
Mr. Khadr – who later pleaded guilty to terrorism charges based on an accusation that he threw a grenade that killed a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan when he was 15 – could then have been tried as a minor by Canadian courts, instead of as an adult by a U.S. military commission. Around the same time, however, the U.S. secretary of state herself told Mr. Edney that although “Washington was ok with the transfer, it remained impossible as long as Harper was opposed,” Mr. Bérard writes.
When the issue of Mr. Khadr’s repatriation was most in play, however, the Harper government’s position was consistently one of deference to the U.S., not outright opposition. “We respect the process put in place by the American government and we will await the outcome of that process,” said Mr. Cannon after a meeting with Ms. Clinton in 2009 in which they discussed the Khadr case.
“Canada had an obligation to repatriate him and if he actively blocked it, that’s a shameful, shameful act by Harper.”, which the author provided to The Globe prior to publication – paints a picture of a government determined to keep Mr. Khadr away from Canadian soil, argued France-Isabelle Langlois, director-general of the francophone branch of Amnesty International Canada.
