Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate that the members around the table are trying to be reasonable. I know everybody's concerned, particularly on this committee, about human rights and how Canadians are treated, both at home and abroad. But I think the members opposite know full well that at this time this particular matter is before the court. There is a limit as to what can be said in a public setting, which Mr. Walsh has correctly indicated.
I think the minister has clearly indicated.... It was a very clear exchange between Mr. Dewar and the minister at the last meeting, where the question couldn't have been posed more clearly, Mr. Dewar, and you have an answer. I doubt very much that a letter is going to change that at this time, and I think members need to respect that the matter is before the courts and let it rest there until it's resolved in that venue.
