I can tell you that if they sent me back today, I'm not afraid of execution because death is once and for all, an end of your life. I'm afraid of torture. Canada is committed to the convention against torture. I'm very happy that this legislation mentions protection against torture, but I'm frustrated that there is no attention in this legislation to survivors of torture, war, genocide, and collective trauma.
On May 1st, 2012. See this statement in context.
