Mr. Chair, that does not necessarily mean that every piece of information that comes to us from an agency and that raises questions about human rights was obtained through torture. There are other techniques. The information could have been obtained from communications intercepts, physical surveillance or the agency's files. Sometimes, by reading the information, we can determine that it comes from an intercepted telephone conversation, for example. But, in the case of information obtained through questioning, if it is clear or if there is a suspicion that the information was obtained by means of torture, there are various things we can do. We can go back to the source to try to obtain more information on the conditions in which the information was obtained.
At the end of the day, if there is still a doubt, the ministerial directive is clear: the service cannot rely on that information. The information then becomes the subject of what we call a caveat, indicating that it cannot be used because it might have been obtained through torture or ill-treatment. The information is then labelled as such to ensure it is not used in the future.
