I'm reading from the standing rules followed by our Canadian Forces there, and there is no reference to any handover. If we take somebody and arrest them, they are processed by us. If other forces who are with us at the time take people, they process them. There's an example today in Afghanistan, where we have a Portuguese company with us in our battle group, and if they were to take detainees—and I'm not aware if they have or not—in this case they would process them through us, because they do not have an ability to handle detainees. So we would handle them through the Canadian system, and then we would hand them on with proper due process to the Afghan authorities.
