Independent of the criminal investigation, the CBSA, subsequent to media reporting, went and obtained an instance of this video from the dark web. It's part of the review where we're asking ourselves questions about the procedures.
I think I can confirm, through a review of the treatment of these individuals, that the video wasn't available to the CBSA officials who were screening the individual. I can say that the preliminary indications were that the video of the father was not available, that instance that we found, in 2018 or 2021. It was only made available more recently. We are trying to see if there are other instances of that video or if it could have been obtained in other ways. We're also asking ourselves the question around the feasibility of finding a video like that if you don't know about it.
I think I can confirm to the committee that the CBSA has an independent copy of that. We're being very careful in what we say. We're looking at it in the context of this review that the minister mentioned. Preliminary indications by the CBSA are that they certainly weren't available in 2018 and 2021. That's the purpose of the review, to get to the bottom of those questions. Preliminary review wasn't available during the screening in 2018 or 2021, with serious questions about whether it was findable if you didn't know what you were looking for.
