Mr. Proudfoot, in your testimony you suggested the same thing. In the Federal Court, when asked, “Do we know now where Canadian Forces' detainees are being held currently?”, you answered, “We have approached the Government of Afghanistan to ascertain the whereabouts of all transferred detainees. I do not know the status of the response.”
Then the question from the lawyer was, “So you don't know if Afghanistan has been able to locate all the detainees?” You said, “ I do not know.”
The lawyer asked, “Once Afghanistan provides that information, would that information at some point cross your desk?” You replied, “Probably not.” When asked, “And why is that?”, you replied, “The reporting on this issue has a very narrow distribution....”
That's fair enough, but would your evidence be the same as Ms. Swords' evidence, in that you had concerns about the arrangement that up to that point had been in place, because it was hard to track where people were going?
