The Canadian Taxpayers Federation says it's wrong to use taxpayer money to pay compensation package to Omar Khadr.
Sources say that the Trudeau government is preparing to offer Khadr a $10 million compensation package.

“Mr. Khadr admitted to killing an American solider while fighting with al-Qaeda in Afghanistan," says Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. "The notion that Canadian taxpayers should be on the hook for paying such a person $10 million is highly offensive.
"If the Trudeau government wishes to apologize for errors made in the past, that’s one thing, but handing $10 million in taxpayer money to Khadr is unacceptable. If the federal government has an extra $10 million kicking around they should give it to the families of Canadian military veterans who were killed in Afghanistan by people who were fighting alongside Khadr.”
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has launched a petition opposing the financial payment to Khadr. It’s available HERE.
