Mr. Chairman, my understanding is that Mr. Schreiber is formally in the custody of Corrections Ontario. He was transferred here on the basis not of release from custody, but simply removal within custody from one part of the province to another. Arrangements were made among Corrections Ontario, the Ottawa city police, and the Sergeant at Arms. My understanding was that when the committee proceedings are terminated for the day, he should backtrack in the same fashion as he was brought here.
Our summons and our warrant for witness did not include anything about residence at his private home, but rather residence at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre for the time that he was in this city. Obviously the paragraph that you read out a few minutes ago about retrieval of documents has pertinence in this matter. Some sort of arrangement would have to be made among all the authorities involved either to bring those documents from Mr. Schreiber's home to the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre or to bring Mr. Schreiber from the detention centre to his home for a time, to recover those documents and to put them in his possession.
That's my understanding, sir.
