Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Commissioner Marleau, Mr. Brunet, and Mr. Walsh.
Mr. Walsh seems to be totally wrong about the Security of Information Act, I would say--the SOIA--and standing in the way of our getting documents at the committee. As of late 2006, key provisions of this act were struck down as unconstitutional by Madam Justice Ratushny. That happened in the case of Juliet O'Neill. As of today, it's largely defunct; the crown has not appealed this case.
My question to you, Mr. Walsh, is you should know this, so why did you fail to mention it here? Would you like to tell us the straight answer about this particular issue?
