The committee has received correspondence from the family of Ibrahim Halawa. Amnesty International is returning to the committee to talk about its annual report and also the discrepancies between what we have been told by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and information that the Halawa family have given us regarding the torture of Ibrahim and the lack of medical treatment and assistance that he has received, and also conditions in the prison. I know that the Chairman has asked the Egyptian authorities if the committee can visit him. Is there an update on that? It is concerning that a Canadian national has been released having been put on trial and then not found guilty.
