I did not know, Mr. Chairman, that Mr. Arar was not involved with terrorist situations before he was arrested. I learned about it when I reviewed the information. We tried to correct it with the Americans. We let Canadian officials know about that, and we gave them all the information we had. The question is correct. I did not make a public statement. I didn't know everything about Mr. Arar.
On September 28th, 2006. See this statement in context.
