I can assure you that from a departmental perspective, we view our duty to assist Canadians as one of the pre-eminent things that we do as a department. It's the part of our department that is the most public. It's the one where we directly provide services to Canadians. When we look at each case and determine that this engagement is in the interest and well-being of a particular client, that is seen as a pre-eminent duty.
In all cases where we see Canadians being mistreated, where we believe that raising those cases at different levels with different interlocutors is in the best interest of that client.... In some cases, it might not be in the best interest of the client to raise it at the political level, as it politicizes the case and might put them in further jeopardy, and that's an assessment we make with our mission on the ground. But where we believe that the security and safety of Canadians is at risk, we don't hesitate to raise cases, and it's done based on their well-being.
