View answerI understand that the individuals in question have refused solid foods for about two months in protest at the conditions of their detention. Mr. Stockwell Day, the Canadian Minister of Public Safety, visited the Kingston Immigration Holding Centre on 25 January 2007 but subsequently stated that he was not in a position to discuss these cases due to privacy protection rules and a pending Canadian Supreme Court hearing related to them.
