| Maher Arar | Arar Inquiry To Cost $23-million Norman Jack Saturday, February 26, 2005 Investigating the Maher Arar affair is costing Canadian taxpayers more than $23-million. That's the price tag government officials are attaching to the public inquiry into the case.
Arar is the Ottawa man who was detained in New York on his way home, then shipped off to Syria, where he spent almost a year in jail. He says he was tortured while in prison, and claims Canadian intelligence officials helped put him there.
He's never been charged with any offense.
