Harper may be ‘ragging the puck’ on detainee records: Ignatieff
Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff says the federal government must produce documents on Afghan detainees, but wouldn't indicate what he'll do if the Tories keep dragging their feet.

Ignatieff, speaking in Halifax on Saturday, said a meeting set for Monday might reveal whether a deal can be reached to release records on the transfer of detainees from the Canadian military to Afghan authorities.

“We're kind of running the clock here and there's a question as to whether the government's ragging the puck,” he said.

“There's absolutely no reason why we can't get an agreement. I'm optimistic we can, but it's getting a bit late.”

To beat Harper all we have to do is reduce the number of seats that his party has.
