You testified moments ago to the effect that the practice of circulating names of requesters was very limited and wasn't a general practice or problem. This doesn't correspond to the testimony given us by Mr. Leadbeater of the Office of the Information Commissioner, who suggested that it is a fairly widespread practice, a long-standing one. He brought to us the Rowat case in 2001. I mentioned to the committee, of course, the Eggleton case in 1999. We had CBC quoting a former Liberal staffer saying that “access requests were routinely obtained during the Jean Chrétien government” by political staff. So we have some evidence, some testimony, that this has been a long-standing practice, and you seem to be contradicting that.
Could you address why you think there might be a contradiction?
