Not only that, but my partner was the representative of Canada in Kandahar, Madam Elissa Golberg. These are issues we played with all the time. I would say that as an organization, the whole-of-government team together is a learning institution.
So the allegations of torture that came out in November 2007, which resulted in the halting of detainee transfers until February 2008, and all of the activity that went on behind the scenes--which I wasn't present for, but certainly was briefed on by General Laroche--were exactly the sorts of mitigating actions you want to take to learn from the past, ameliorate the conditions for the future, and make sure the transfers can carry on, which they did. I believe the transfers recommenced in late February 2008, and by the time I got there the situation had been fixed to the satisfaction of the whole-of-government team, not just the general.
