‘Tnowas Moteur barr, May 02, 2017 Dear Commissioner Dawson, ‘Over the past several days, the credibility of the Minister of National Defence has been widely questioned following revelations that he falsely represented his role during the war in Afghanistan In light ofthe new information that has come to ight, | am urgently requesting that you review your decision and open an examination into whether the Minister of National Defence violated the Conflict of interest Act when he refused an inquiry into the Afghan detainee scandal in response to House of Commons petition E-70, which called on the government to establish & public inquiry into Canada's policies and practices with respect to detainees in Afghanistan ‘As has been brought to your attention on more than one occasion, the Minister would be a key witness at such an inquiry, given his former inteligence liaison role on the batlfild tis now public knowledge that the Minister informed you he was merely @ “reservist” who was responsible for capacity building with local police forces. In your letter of response to Professor Craig Scot, dated February 27, 2017, you write: “At no time was he involved in the transfer of Alghan detainees, nor did he have any knowledge relating tothe matter.” (On April 18, however, he repeated for at least the second time that he was "the architect” of ‘Operation MEDUSA, one of Canada's largest miltary operations since the Korean War. In ‘addition, Professor Craig Scolt provided to you further information in a letter dated April 14, 2017. General David Fraser, who was commander of Canada's Coalition Task Force in ‘Kandahar and the Minister's superior, stated ina letter dated September 16, 2006 the following ‘Maj Sajan was specially selected for that demanding and challenging task of acting as the Liaison Offer ofthe Afghan National Paice on behalf of the Combined Task Force (CTF) Aegis HQ because of the civilian skilset he has brought fo the table as an undercover narcotics officer. His job further changed into being a special infoligence officer working direct to Commander CTF Aegis because of his ability to understand and explo criminal networks. He ‘consistently provided the most timely and accurate intaligence available, and he personally used broad sources of information into an extremely coherent picture ypon which most ofthe formations major operations were based. ofa mesons |aousr enuns| ore ohn KINO 4 Lae WENHAM ata OBE HTN?This information caste futher doubt on the Minister's truthfulness in the account of his role that he provided to you. It is simply not plausible for a miltary intelligence liaison officer who had such a role on the batield to have had no access whatsoever to information relating to the capture and transfer of Afghan detainees, These revelations seriously call into question the Minister's honesty and forhrightness with respect to his role, and what information he had access to throughout his tne in Afghanistan ‘The blatant discrepancies in his statements warrant immediate scrutiny from your office. | thereby request that you review your decision and open an examination under the Confit of Interest Act. This is @ matter of fundamental human rights, of public accountability, and transparency. This is a clear conflict between the Minister's responsibilities and his personal interests regarling events before his appointment ‘Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this matter.
