To answer the question directly, of course the monitoring has begun. There have been five visits. That's based on information—I'm not sure you were here earlier—by which the Afghan ambassador informs us that five visits have been completed. Of those visits, they stressed the need for the Afghan authorities themselves to comply with the enhanced agreement that these unrestricted and private visits were to take place and that at the same time the further capacity building within the detention system itself was to continue. That, of course, is being assisted by Correctional Service Canada.
In addition to that, this enhanced agreement, as you know, guarantees that there will be a clarification as far as the lines of communication go as to responsibility. There are commitments by the Afghan government itself in regard to international standards of human rights and their own domestic law. Any reported abuse that involved detainees who were turned over by Canadian Forces is to be followed up, and we are expecting fully that a report will be returned to us.
That having been said, the ambassador informs us that the head of security, who is acting as the senior adviser to the President himself, advises him that this will be adhered to. This was the same information that was relayed to the Prime Minister directly by President Karzai on his recent visit.
This process is well in place and is creating a great deal of confidence with respect to future situations around detainees.
