The Prime Minister even added \u201cIt is in this context that we handed over prisoners\u2014\u201d.</p>\n<p>Will the Minister of National Defence confirm that the context to which the Prime Minister was referring was indeed the following: Canada had reached an agreement with the United States when it transferred the prisoners on January 21? According to the minister, there was no agreement on the 17th. Was there one on the 21st? When was that agreement reached?</p>",
