But we have individuals who were detained and tortured. These were Canadian citizens. That information was used by Canadian intelligence officials. What I was looking for, what I was hoping for today, was a response that said exactly what was in Justice Iacobucci's report, namely, that we would never use information if there was a credible risk that torture had been present. I'm being told that there are amber lights, and maybe we're going to use it and maybe we're not going to. How do we know that this will not happen again? Let me be specific and direct. Would we today, knowing what we know, having gone through what we've gone through, share information in the same way with Egypt or Syria? Please answer yes or no.
