Public Safety committee  No, and I really wouldn't want to take a guess at that.

Public Safety committee  Yes, it could do.

Public Safety committee  I believe that after we completed the review of Maher Arar—I may be out of sync here, but my memory tells me—we did a broader review of foreign intelligence-sharing arrangements.

Public Safety committee  I would hope so. Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying.

Public Safety committee  I will respond very quickly by repeating what the former director of CSIS said, which is that they never accept any information at face value, whatever its origins, without corroborating it from other sources. That really is the role of CSIS to do that, and it's not for us to ass

Public Safety committee  Absolutely, and in fact I'd like to give you a few examples.

Public Safety committee  In the case of Maher Arar, we launched a review. It was not a complaint; it was exactly what you're talking about. Of our own motion, we launched a review inside SIRC of CSIS's role in the matter of Maher Arar months before the government established the commission of inquiry. Ou

Public Safety committee  We're doing it with Mr. Khadr, too, as I just mentioned to your colleague.

Public Safety committee  We don't call these investigations, because unlike our complaints we don't necessarily call witnesses or subpoena people.

Public Safety committee  It's in process, so we expect it to be completed within this year's reporting cycle. It would therefore appear in the next annual report.

Public Safety committee  The mandate of CSIS is to investigate threats to Canada's security. We live in a big world with a lot of terrorist threats that don't respect borders and that move around quite freely. In such a world, it's very important that our security intelligence service enter into arrangem

Public Safety committee  It's going to be hard for me to cast back. There is one example that comes to mind of a recommendation we made repeatedly over a number of years through our investigations of complaints. I'll let Ms. Roussel tell you what the disposition of that recommendation was and how we fina

Public Safety committee  Because we're a review body, we're not there on the ground day to day directing the operations of the service. That is the responsibility of the director and his staff. We try to keep our recommendations at a general level so the service can determine what makes the most sense in

Public Safety committee  I'm not sure if I understand the last part of the question. What do you mean by “significantly different”?
