I have case summaries of Canadians abroad who have suffered the consequences of human rights violations in foreign custody. The larger challenge would be to equate that in some way with what the government did or did not do. There's always an element of uncertainty here. If the government had followed a different course of action, would it necessarily have resulted in an improvement?
The documentation that comes immediately to mind would be the formal inquiries that have taken place in Canada, at great length, into cases like Maher Arar's. I don't think we need, necessarily, to speculate about what the consequences are when Justice Iacobucci has laid them out in considerable detail. I would certainly encourage the standing committee to look back at those documents, at those inquiries, because they not only outline the consequences; they outline the chain of events and the sequence of decisions that resulted in those consequences. There's an opportunity there to explore how the existing chain of command may have failed, for example, and how a culture of inaction may have contributed to some of these consequences.
I would certainly be happy to provide the committee with whatever information I have on individual Canadian cases, though, if that would be helpful.
