I should also respond to the preamble. Mr. Dosanjh has repeated this fallacy a number of times. The request that was made for a report from the Department of Foreign Affairs was not a specific request for Afghanistan. It was a world report, and thereby was not available. A world report on detention does not exist. When specifics were requested and provided, then in fact the Department of Foreign Affairs did turn over the report, as they have previously.
These reports--as the honourable member would know, being a member of the previous government--go back to the year 2002. They are handled, treated, disclosed, and redacted in exactly the same fashion as they have been since 2002, and by members of the department, not at the political level. You've had testimony before the ethics commission that indicates that this is in fact the case. There was never any political interference or a hands-on approach taken with respect to redaction.
