I would like to thank the witnesses for their attendance and participation.
The first question is to you, Mr. Doobay.
I listened very carefully to your opening remarks. You spoke about tensions in our current extradition system, and punishment versus protection of civil liberties. You talked about the role of the prosecutor in Canada. I'm not quite sure if I took down all of your notes. You made reference to the prosecutor in the U.K. being akin to a minister of justice, with duties to act with fairness, and to disclose evidence that is not favourable. In other words, it's probably evidence that normally could be disclosed, but sometimes some countries may not disclose it.
Were you trying to suggest that in Canada we do not have that minister of justice type of prosecutorial system, when it comes to extradition hearings? Are you suggesting that our prosecutors deliberately withhold exculpatory evidence without that duty to disclose?
