I've always admired you, sir, as an international lawyer. And I believe that you and all the other Canadian officials were doing the best they could in difficult circumstances. I believe the same is true today.
But we're sitting here and we're hearing differing views now from people who were there at the time. Some are saying quite clearly you absolutely should have known, and others are saying there was no clear evidence and what you did was the best in the circumstances.
I'm simply curious to know what you would do if you were in my shoes today, in trying to interpret what Canada should have done back in 2005 and what it should be doing now.
