Thank you, Chair.
Commissioner, there has been a great deal of discussion about what directions you've been given or haven't been given on talking to the media and so on. Canadians heard a great deal in the last few days about how at the solemn event that was held on the Hill this last weekend you and the current minister didn't speak with each other and had no contact, and I'm sure Canadians may be surprised to hear what you just said a few minutes ago, that in fact you did have a conversation and shook hands, however briefly, and also met the minister's wife. The point is that not everything you hear or see is actually factually true. There are opportunities to straighten that record, and I'm pleased that you did so here today.
Having said that, one of my concerns, as the honourable member across was discussing, is about letting Canadians know when you knew what was wrong in this whole affair and straightening it out. When did you let the political body in Ottawa know that there had been errors made and it may have resulted in what happened to Mr. Arar? How soon did that occur?
