In the case of your recommendation for information sharing, that the threshold be that the sharing is necessary as opposed to reasonable, I think, is the difference. Again, I'm just curious how that would work when it comes to oversight. You mentioned a couple of cases, Maher Arar being one, where there was information sharing among governments that had negative consequences. If you were to have that necessity requirement, how do you imagine the oversight happening? Who does it and when, exactly? If the RCMP is getting ready to share information with a foreign government, for instance, do they call up your office and say this is something they're about to do? How does that oversight actually happen?
