I guess it could be said that that's a bit of a risky question, but I think it's a fair question. To be honest with you, early on in the process, with all of the media that was surrounding the Arar investigation, certainly, and then this one, it crossed my mind as to whether the confidence level of our allies with whom we work, especially on the security side, was being eroded in any way because of this, especially the publicity.
I do meet with our counterparts--and not only our traditional allies, the so-called 5 Eyes, people in Great Britain and in New Zealand—but whether with them or the G8 securities ministers, as I met with our counterparts there, including our Russian counterpart, I actually asked that question. But I prefaced it by saying, look, I still have absolute and full confidence in the RCMP, but I'm just wondering, you folks, you're hearing a lot of stuff, is your confidence eroded? They said not in the least, each one independently, because I didn't ask that in a really public way. I didn't hold a conference of international police forces to ask that. But they said, we understand, and no police force is perfect, but it looks like there's some pretty aggressive work going on to fix any problems. They said that operationally it has not eroded their confidence one iota and that they appreciate the ongoing work with the RCMP.
