Thank you very much for being here today.
When we talk about trying to strike the right balance between the need to share information for security purposes and the need to protect Canadians, I think it's often easier for folks to understand the risk of not sharing enough. You can understand the idea quite readily and in an abstract way that there's a threat and that if the left hand doesn't talk to the right hand and they don't get the information on time, then that threat is allowed to get through.
You've referred to the Arar case, and I'm sure most of us are familiar with the broad strokes of that case. Could you guys help us by explaining a little more concretely some of the details of that case? It might be helpful even to speak more generally about what the risks are. In what ways can unrestricted information sharing end up posing a threat to Canadians?
I think many people think that if you don't have anything to hide and you're not up to anything, then it shouldn't matter how much information they're sharing about you, because what possible harm could come of innocuous information? If that's not the case, maybe you could just help....
