I'd like to read the following interview that she made in April 2007: “There hasn't been any significant work done with the prisons.” She added that it's too easy for the Canadian and Afghan authorities to forget about prisoners after they're thrown in jail. “It's out of sight, out of mind. We're just as happy that they went to jail.” She said that allegations of torture in Afghan prisons wouldn't surprise her. She said this to CTV, and it was in The Globe and Mail on April 27, 2007.
Mr. Mulroney, can you explain why, unlike Ms. Garwood-Filbert and other officials who were drafting and forwarding these reports, Ottawa—to use her terms—kept the allegations of torture “out of sight, out of mind” and remained naive until November 5, 2007?
