I'm going to continue my questions with Mr. Gwozdecky, because I was cut off. It's good to see you again. You were before the defence committee a few weeks ago on North Korea. It's good to see that you have all the easy files.
We left off with Omar Khadr. You raised that case, and certainly there was a $10.5-million settlement paid for a range of things. The Supreme Court case decision you mentioned was interesting in that it said that it's the crown's prerogative in terms of when someone is repatriated from that type of position. The charter violations related to the three consular visits that took place under the Chrétien and Martin governments.
Consular officials are in a bit of a catch-22 in a situation like Saudi Arabia, North Korea, or in that case, Guantanamo. If they don't visit, they're not providing consular assistance to the level Canadians would expect, but if they visit, knowing there's mistreatment, Canada could insert itself into the charter. Is that why the policy changed following the Khadr case?
