First of all, I can't comment on the time the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, takes to provide information on a given situation. However, in general, Canada's privacy legislation is much more restrictive than that adopted in the United States.

If parliamentarians want to debate it, that's one thing, but right now, it's not possible to make certain information public because of privacy legislation.
