Mr. Speaker, I must say that the minister's reply is interesting. If that is the case, will he withdraw his directive?
Not only is it immoral to obtain information by torture, but the information is often false or incorrect. We know that a person who is being tortured will say anything to make the torture stop. The minister has opened the door to abuse, torture and wrongdoing, as we saw in the Maher Arar case. Just a transfer to a country where torture is acceptable. No big deal.
Does the minister realize that this does not make sense? Again, will he withdraw the directive—
