Jack Letts, a Muslim convert whose father is Canadian, left Britain for Syria in 2014 when he was 18.

OTTAWA - Canadian Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said on Tuesday the government would not help Jack Letts - dubbed"Jihadi Jack" by the media - come to Canada from the Kurdish prison where he is being held.

Asked in an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corp whether the government had decided to repatriate Letts, Goodale said:"We have no obligation to facilitate his travel from his present circumstances, and we have no intention of facilitating that travel." On Monday, Trudeau's main opponent in the October national election, Andrew Scheer, said that if elected, he"will not lift a finger" to help Letts.
