Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank Mr. Kmiec for bringing this motion forward.
About redaction, I want to emphasize why information is redacted and certain criteria for redaction. My background is policing. There's always freedom of information in any public office where government offers this freedom of information request. Most of the information or all of the information that we disclose to the public is redacted. Every report that goes out is redacted, and there's a reason for that. The reason for redaction is protecting privacy and protecting sensitive information on the report itself so that it doesn't get out to the public where it jeopardizes people's safety or jeopardizes other things.
This is in the policing realm. It would be different here in a federal government matter, but in policing we redact information so that it does not jeopardize people's safety and the sensitivity of the investigation itself.
In saying that, I hope that the information Mr. Kmiec is asking for is used in a proper manner instead of using it for a frivolous matter. I'm hoping for that.
