You told Mr. Cotler that upon learning of Mr. Arar's detention in Syria, you asked to see his file and realized that mistakes had been made and corrected. Therefore, you had all the facts you needed to understand that if the Americans weren't telling you anything more, it was as a direct result of these errors that Mr. Arar had been jailed and that consequently, an innocent person was in jail in Syria and that more than likely, the erroneous information found on file was likely the catalyst for the ensuing chain of events.
