The constraints on the disclosure of information have to do with details that are quite specific. In order to achieve my role as commissioner, if I'm appointed, I think I would bring a knowledge of the general issues, the legislation, and the policies of police and security agencies that I've acquired, which would actually be useful for me to have, and I would not need to rely on information of a classified nature in order to perform my role. The knowledge of the policies and legislation and practices of agencies would be sufficient, in my view.
