I'd just suggest to Mr. Hyer that, yes, in fact, Canada does have the ability to determine that. One of the things that occurs is an exchange of information between the country in which the person is held and Canada. The officials cannot make any recommendations to the minister if they don't have information at hand on what transpired while the individual was incarcerated in another country. It is a pretty simple situation, in that the officials, in fact, who provide that advice to the minister, do have access to that kind of information.
Your reason for removing it doesn't really seem to make sense to me. Again, it's a case of your trying to destroy the bill by taking away these issues that any minister, through his officials, would have to make some valid comments or decisions on.
