I can expand a little bit on that answer.
When there are allegations of torture, we take all of these allegations extremely seriously. There's a requirement on all of our consular officers to immediately report those allegations back to us. We have a team of experts who look at all allegations and assess their seriousness and credibility, and the government is informed of all allegations made. When allegations are credible and serious, we take an immediate series of steps, and these are decided on a case-by-case basis.
As the member mentioned, we have to look at the safety and security of those who are in detention. In different circumstances, the response might be different. Typically, the kinds of things we look at are immediately seeking access, making representations to the government that is holding these Canadians abroad, visits, increased frequency of visits, consular access, and other documentation so that we can make more informed and more pointed interventions on their behalf to try to ensure their well-being.
