Mr. Speaker, here is what the witness actually said yesterday, “The 2007 arrangement I think would be recognized across the board by most officials as a vast improvement over the original transfer arrangement”. He went on to talk about there not being a problem right now as far as transferring detainees, because we have a much more rigid oversight mechanism in place.
Brigadier General Denis Thompson went on to talk about the valuable information that was received from the NDS in the fight against terrorism.
So, we are making improvements. These are vast improvements over the situation we saw when we went there in 2006.
