The failure here was that of the former Conservative government, of which Andrew Scheer the current leader of the party, was a part. They failed Omar Khadr as a Canadian citizen and as a child combatant. The International law was clear, but because Stephen Harper thought that he was the law of the land and not our constitution, that he could forsake any responsibility for a child that was taken there by his father. I feel for those who have lost family in this conflict, but the law is clear and was upheld by the highest courts in the land Omar should not have been first of all held in a prison and secondly tortured. As well if I recall there is even questions as to whether he actually even threw the grenade that caused the death of the American soldier in question. This travesty of justice occurred because the government failed to accept it's responsibility to protect one of it's citizens. I applaud the Prime Minister for having the courage to make this obviously difficult decision,
