We had many such requests. There were always those kinds of requests, and they were always refused.
I want to be clear: they were the application of the access to information.... I have to be very careful here, Mr. Chairman, because I am actually in the Supreme Court still with a decision pending from a case from 2001 in which the access to information commissioner has taken us on appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. We're waiting for a judgment. Nothing I say is relevant to that case sub judice.
That said, whenever we received requests for those kinds of documents, we would apply the Access to Information Act, so insofar as they were confidences, they were excluded; insofar as they dealt with national security, they were exempted, and those sections would have been redacted and the clean document, if you will, would have been released.
