I would simply like to say that is a whole other debate. In fact, the Optional Protocol, the mechanisms it provides for and the preventive visits in no way call into question the reasons behind the arrest and detention of persons held in these places. The idea is really to look at how these detainees are being treated. I would say that Mr. Sorenson's questions fall more within the jurisdiction of organizations such as the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention. I am referring here to the U.N. group which came to Canada in June of 2005, if I'm not mistaken.
However, to answer your question, I would say that the Optional Protocol has nothing to do with that kind of debate. It is completely different. Of course, Canada will continue to meet its commitments under the Convention against Torture. The Protocol simply builds on the obligation to prevent torture which, as I said, is laid out in Article 2 of the Convention.
