Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for joining us here today.

After 9/11, and after the deportation of Mr. Arar, many civil rights advocates and community groups spoke about the attitude and the rush to conclusion that many officials had done, and the suspension of due process. I want to specifically address the point that you, the Prime Minister, and several members of your caucus criticized the government at the time for trying to get Mr. Arar released. Is that true or not?
