I understand that you did certain things. What I asked you was this: was there a document that set out Canadian policy? If there isn't one, that's fine.
Let me ask you another question. Was it part of the policy of our government in Afghanistan to transfer prisoners to the NDS “for further questioning”? I ask that question because we had an individual testify at this time last week with a suggestion that as a translator he had translated some 40 or 50 documents that contained just this phrase. It was contained in a transfer document that was to be passed over.
This was done by the military, so I guess that maybe it's a two-part question. The military seemed to be operating in a particular vein over there, and I get the impression from General Hillier and other witnesses that the military didn't see any role for themselves after they passed people over, that it was up to DFAIT to look after these sorts of things. But I ask you, are you aware that such a practice took place? Was this part of Canada's policy to do that? Or what can you tell us about it?
