Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Therrien, I have two questions to ask you. I asked these questions last week when we met with representatives of different law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
I understand that a warrant from a judge is required when, for example, the RCMP wants to obtain certain information as part of an investigation of a suspect. However, the person has a reasonable expectation of privacy regarding the information since it's protected by the charter.
What happens when the information is disclosed voluntarily because it's relevant to the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act, but the institution would have otherwise needed to obtain a warrant to collect the information? I've tried to obtain an answer to the question, but until now not much light has been shed on the subject. I don't know whether my question is fundamentally clear.
