I finally received a response from my MP, your Hon. Laurie Hawn regarding "individuals" being held on Security Certificates. Here's what his office had to say:
Dear Ms. Bodo:
Re: Email inquiry dated February 22, 2006
We have researched your inquiry about a new facility in Kingston to house individuals being held on security Certificates. Although you may already have them, attached are several news items obtained from the Library of Parliament.
The facility is in response to a request by the Ontario Government and the location was selected by Corrections Canada.
There is always a balancing act when it comes to National Security and there will always be disagreement on each side of the issue. Our Government will take both National Security and Human Rights seriously and work hard to get the balance right.
Operational issues such as this would not come to a vote; even though the border issues could certainly be the subject of Parliamentary debate.
Although you will not agree with what is taking place, I want to thank you for expressing your concerns.
Your truly,
Laurie Hawn, MP
Edmonton Centre
