Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay has apologized to the families of the two Canadian hostages being held in Iraq after suggesting he had new information about their fate.
MacKay told reporters on Monday he was confident the hostages were alive and would be released soon, and that he believed they had been moved several times.
The next day, he told reporters he had no new information since a video was released three weeks ago that indicated they were alive and well.
