On March 22 Mr. Esau received that. That is flagrantly a lie. It is absolutely clear that the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade has and still does produce human rights reports for specific countries. I mentioned the Syria report, which is even cited in the Arar commission report, which was, of course, public before the date that Mr. Esau was told that, no, DFAIT doesn't actually produce such reports.
It is also clear to me that before I was given the Afghanistan 2006 report, along with those reports going back to 2002, it was reviewed by people in the department. It would seem that somebody reviewed it after the access coordinator responsible for the file, Mr. Gary Switzer, already had it.
