The government documents on torture constitute extremely important evidence. Yesterday the <a data-HoCid=\"111558\" href=\"/politicians/peter-mackay/\" title=\"Peter MacKay\">Minister of National Defence</a> promised to hand them over. Today he is retreating into secrecy. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1719451\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why is the government refusing to let the parliamentary committee get to the bottom of this affair? Why is the government so afraid of what will be found in those crucial documents? </p>",
