Mr. Michael Wernick at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

Then you're not in a full democracy. You're in a sort of quasi-authoritarian society, like you see around the world.

You can see pressure being put on politicians. This is common practice in the United States Congress, where you're seeing hearings where prosecutors, police officials and law enforcement officials are being hauled before congressional committees in the United States. I think that's a form of pressure and intimidation on the law enforcement system.
