Mr. Bachand will speak a little later.
The risk that transferred detainees will be tortured can affect Canada's ability to convince others that it really cares about Afghans and their fate. In other words, it is not simply a matter of knowing whether the answer is yes or no. This issue is only one piece of the puzzle, and we are trying to help Afghans live better lives and know what their rights are.
Why does Canada feel it is safe to continue to transfer detainees, when British forces believe there is a risk of torture and therefore stopped transferring detainees? There has to be a good reason, but there isn't. You are risking destroying everything which has been achieved so far.
