Good morning. I would like to comment on what Mr. Marston said.
The situation is equally troubling as regards the use of statements or testimony obtained under torture. As regards security certificates, the Harkat and Charkaoui cases have come become the courts or may still be before the courts. The Government of Canada had used evidence in those cases—for example, with Abu Zubaydah et Maher Arar, where serious allegations of torture were upheld. Such evidence may still be coming forward in cases examined before courts of law here in Canada. That is certainly a concern.
I would like to add that in the Arar case, Justice O'Connor's report recommended increased monitoring mechanisms and more transparency with a view to controlling government activity. In addition, the Quebec Bar voted last Saturday in favour of a resolution aimed at encouraging the Canadian government to implement the monitoring mechanisms recommended by Justice O'Connor. So, there is a well-established desire, at least among the legal profession in Quebec, to increase monitoring mechanisms.
