Our understanding at the time was that it was not public when we asked for it. It may be public now, but they still haven't turned it over. They did acknowledge that it was still outstanding on January 17 of this year, so we're talking six and a half years after the fact.
Mr. Shimooka, you described the information environment around the fighter jet file as unprecedented with gag orders. You also wrote a report on the draft of the Auditor General's third report, “Canada’s Fighter Force—National Defence”. I made an ATIP request to get all the memos, emails, correspondence and briefing notes concerning the AG's report and draft report on Canada's fighter fleet. That was received on March 6, 2019. I still haven't heard an acknowledgement that they still have it and it's still outstanding.
Can you go into detail as to whether you did any ATIPs based on that report, the study you did and ultimately the gag order, and how that impacted your work as a policy analyst?
