You are very well suited to it.
Thank you to all the witnesses for appearing before us, particularly on short notice.
My first question is for the representatives from the Privacy Commissioner's office. First of all, please extend our regards to the commissioner in her absence. We understand she couldn't be here today.
The motion that was adopted by this committee was precipitated by news reports, the original being dated September 20, regarding an alleged distribution of the name of a requester of information with respect to the public security ministry. You obviously know the background of that, although you can't comment on particular cases. I gather that the ministers of public security and the Treasury Board may have called your commissioner to express concern and invite cooperation with her in this matter. Is that the case? Can you confirm whether your commissioner received contact from the ministers of public security and the Treasury Board shortly thereafter?
