Well was he tortured by Canada and denied basic human rights by Canada? Could the government have done more? Without a doubt, would it have resulted in a different outcome for him? Probably not, but that's beside the point.
As for a remedy? Great question, house him, provide him counselling for his ordeal, provide him with education credits to pursue the vocation of his choice? I don't know, cutting a cheque for 10.5 million just doesn't seem like an appropriate remedy.
