Thank you, Chair.
Bonjour, Monsieur Therrien.
The Barreau du Québec has a code of ethics, a code de déontologie, which states that a lawyer cannot reveal confidential documents or information he or she learns from a client. There are also stringent restrictions on disclosure in the government classification system and the clearance system that you would have to observe in your present role.
Given these restraints, do you believe you would be able to do your job as a neutral watchdog when you would learn secrets on Public Safety, CSIS, or Immigration? Have you sought specific legal or related advice on these constraints?
