Once the Attorney General does mention a document he believes is privileged under national security, the Attorney General will make a secret application to the Federal Court to maintain it as secret--the document, that is--so it would seem to me that although we've had difficulty getting the document out of DFAIT, we are having additional difficulty, in the context of the Amnesty International and BCCLA matter, in getting it before the Federal Court.
In view of this, in view of the government's unwillingness to cooperate with both ATI requesters and Federal Court processes, I am not sanguine that the Information Commissioner will get all the cooperation he is due under the act in this investigation.
