I would just point out that Commissioner Zaccardelli did, and I understand that the minister hasn't. This committee has taken a position that the minister should.
Perhaps I could move on to the issue of one voice. In May and June 2003 both the RCMP and CSIS, as you mentioned in your opening statement, resisted a united call for the release of Maher Arar. This was cited by Justice O'Connor as playing a role in undermining efforts to have Maher Arar returned to Canada, and what the former Solicitor General had stated to us was that part of his reason for not doing that was the advice that he was getting from CSIS and the RCMP.
Given the fact that he neither had a criminal record nor was the object of a criminal investigation, given the fact that certainly even a Google search would have found that he was most certainly facing human rights abuses in Syria, why was this effort to speak with one voice, this effort of the foreign affairs department, rejected? I know you said that you didn't want to characterize, to take a position, but this was somebody who didn't have a criminal record and certainly was facing human rights abuses abroad.
