Thank you very much. I will be sharing my time with my colleagues.
Thank you for sharing your concerns and your constructive comments with us. I am going to ask some questions. Perhaps you could answer them, and after that, I will give the floor to my colleagues.
First of all, you say that an arrangement similar to the one signed by the Netherlands and Afghanistan on the transfer of detainees would resolve 99% of the concerns that you have raised and that you would like to see improved in the Canadian arrangement. You say that the former minister said he used the first agreement as a model and that he was in a hurry. Under these conditions, would it not be simpler to do what we call a cut and paste? Why change things? That is what I am wondering. Perhaps you could answer that, and if I know that you are not necessarily the one who made those changes.
Secondly, would your proposed changes prevent transferred detainees from being exempt from the death penalty?
Thirdly, did Afghanistan sign the 1984 Convention against torture and the 1998 treaty that led to the creation of the International Criminal Court?
