There were general discussions at cabinet. As I say, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bill Graham, would update colleagues in terms of a wide range of issues. Clearly there was concern around how Mr. Arar ended up in Syria and the efforts being made to get him back.
Keep in mind that when I became minister, I was given a clear mandate from Prime Minister Martin: “I want you to get to the bottom of what happened.” We immediately set about determining the best process to put in place to get to the bottom of the matter. I'm very proud to say that we put Mr. Justice O'Connor in place, and I believe we got to the bottom of this matter to greatest extent possible.
