Defence minister ‘didn’t know’ about Iran strike on base housing Canadians until after media report

Defence Minister David McGuinty said he did not know about a strike on an air base in Kuwait where members of the Canadian Armed Forces were stationed until after it was first reported by a media outlet.

“No, I didn’t know about it before La Presse reported on it,” McGuinty said Thursday in a response to a question about whether he knew about the strike before the story was published, in a press conference in Kitchener, Ont.

That inspires confidence.
