First of all, I want to thank the committee very much for giving me the latitude to make my report and to have a round table of questions. Equitably, it shows good faith on behalf of all members. I think it was productive, and nobody was worried about equity. Everyone was given a fair opportunity. So I thank you for that consideration.
As I indicated in my opening remarks, what I care to do now is to have Mr. Walsh—because I fully expect Mr. Schreiber to be here on Thursday—to provide us with some words of wisdom, which he in fact provided to the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates when we were considering the case of George Radwanski, former privacy commissioner. We were in the in camera hearings dealing with matters of privilege, which ultimately led to Mr. Radwanski leaving that post.
It was extremely helpful to the committee members then, and I think his advice to us, his thoughts to us, would be helpful, so that we understand what the boundaries are of our questions, given the mandate of the committee and the order, and also some of the legal rights and privileges of us and others appearing before us, etc. I think the knowledge of that is going to be extremely important.
At this time, I'm going to move to Mr. Walsh to give us some advice. After he gives a brief presentation, then maybe there'll be some questions for him as well.
Mr. Walsh, how long do you need? Five minutes?
Okay, please proceed.
