I'll just ask this: Sir, you said that you need specific allegations. International law is very clear. You need circumstantial evidence; you don't need actual knowledge of any specific allegations or actual knowledge of torture. There was substantial knowledge of torture in Afghan jails. Every kid on the ground knew that. All the reports, national or international, knew that. They said that.
Sir, you continue to transfer prisoners to torture in the name of Canada. It is important that you understand, you don't need specific allegations.
You say, sir, that the board of inquiry to investigate treatment of individuals is sufficient. You say the Military Police Complaints Commission is sufficient.
First of all, you've thwarted the Military Police Complaints Commission by obstruction of justice. That's not sufficient. It's a very narrow inquiry. The first inquiry is very narrow. You have frustrated the work of this committee by not providing proper, uncensored disclosure, my friend.
Ultimately, would you agree to look into the fact that you allowed our prisoners to be sent to a potential risk of torture in the face of a compelling body of knowledge about torture, and that that requires a public inquiry to clear the air, restore Canada's reputation in the world, and protect our men and women on the ground?
