Where Canada is culpable is that Canadian officials came in and obtained evidence from him under these conditions (sleep deprivation, waterboarding, etc), then they shared that information. They should have come to provide consular services like they do for other Canadians who are detained in prisons.
Whether that breach is worth $10.5 million is up for debate.

I don't know about this... They had a Canadian citizen in Guantanamo.
The French were able to have multiple French citizens turned over to France in 2004. The UK had close to a dozen citizens turned over around the same time.
The Liberal government dropped the ball.
