Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Therrien, thank you for testifying before us once again.
We always appreciate your informed comments.
Yesterday, Commissioner Dufresne said he was surprised to learn the facts, and, unless I'm mistaken, I believe you were too.
The aim of our debate is to preserve the public's trust in our institutions. I believe the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada is one of the leading institutions, one of the preferred institutions, in achieving that end.
RCMP representatives told us they had consulted you. In other studies, we also learned that you had been consulted but were unable to look under the hood, as it were. It seems to me the RCMP consults you on trivial matters so it can say it consulted you but refrains from doing so on other matters.
Am I wrong in saying so?
