Omar Sabry says that torture was a routine part of procedures especially during investigation stage of detainees who had been transferred from Canada to Afghanistan, to extort confession from them. He adds that more than a third of conflict-related detainees were tortured.

The Canadian government stopped releasing information to its public about torture to Afghan detainees who had been transferred after 2008.

In response to a question about possible complicity issues by physicians who worked for the Canadian armed forces, Sabry revisits the essence of the panel discussion. He says that the government's resistance to share information on complicity is the motivation for calling for the inquiry. Sabry doesn't have an answer to this question but revisits the need to get information from the government that shows the extent to which these complicity issues happened. He believes this will result to adequate information about Canada's full respect or lack thereof for international law.

An Afghan citizen in the audience discusses how complex it is for Canada to have ensured that Afghanistan adhered to signed treaties not to engage in torture. However, Peggy Mason explains that this does not absolve Canada. She says transfers shouldn't have been made especially because the government was aware of the threat of torture to detainees.

Mason says if there's no change in the government, it will be difficult to take this cause further. However, if there's a change in government, she assures the audience that the new government will be hearing from civil society about the request for public inquiry.

Mason acknowledges that the report is a dense read. However, she believes it will provide basis for discussion in public administration.
