The Week with Mark Sutcliffe
November 22, 2009
Mark Sutcliffe and his guests hear the views of Canadians on revelations made by Canadian diplomat Richard Colvin. Mr. Colvin has alleged that the Canadian government was warned as early as 2006 about possible detainee torture in Afghan prisons. Other topics of discussion include the federal economic stimulus update, the overall state of the Canadian economy, and the ongoing lawsuit against the Ontario government over alleged law enforcement failures and "two-tier" policing practices in Caledonia, Ont., during a standoff with Aboriginal groups. Mark speaks with the Globe and Mail’s Graeme Smith by telephone to discuss Richard Colvin’s torture allegations in more detail. Kevin Gaudet, the federal and Ontario director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, also joins Mark by phone to provide insight into the federal deficit. Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh speaks with Mark about internal issues within the federal Liberal Party. Over the course of the program, CPAC viewers call in to give their perspectives on the issues being discussed.
