Well, as you correctly stated, we provided the best analysis of the information, intelligence, or evidence that we had relative to Mr. Arar. They asked for it. We told them what our situation was. We gave them the information. They subsequently took action to remove him.
We don't exactly know what they relied on, and Justice O'Connor said they most probably relied on some Canadian information. We tried to find out from the Americans how they came to make this decision. We did not get any response from American officials.
One of the solicitors general—I'm not sure if it was Mr. Easter or Mr. MacAulay—had discussions with Attorney General Ashcroft subsequent to that, and Mr. Ashcroft stated to the minister that they used various sources of information to make their decision.
