Mr. Chairman, as I already said, we do not know on what basis the Americans have made their decision. We very clearly know that several attempts have been made by various agencies, and particularly Foreign Affairs, to know what was happening, why Mr. Arar was in prison and how he was treated.
It cannot be said that Canada did nothing. There were a number of attempts and efforts. We accept the comment by Justice O'Connor that we have missed the opportunity to speak in one voice. I also accept that criticism.
