Does Canada Have Evidence of Torture at Guantanamo?

A CTV report this morning states that the Canadian Government does believe that the United States is torturing prisoners, including Canadian Omar Khadr, and that Canada has put the United States on the "torture watch list" despite all of Stephen Harper's statements to the contrary.
"Omar has been there for five-and-a-half years, and at some point in the course of Omar Khadr's detention the Canadian government developed the suspicion he was being tortured and abused," William Kuebler told Canada AM.

"And yet it has not acted to obtain his release from Guantanamo Bay and protect his rights, unlike every other Western country that has had its nationals detained in Guantanamo Bay."
