Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It looks as if I'm going to be the last questioner.
Commissioner, one of the most disturbing revelations of the O'Connor report has nothing to do with Mr. Arar and everything to do with the integrity and trustworthiness of the institution with whose leadership you have been entrusted.
Justice O'Connor speaks of a November 14, 2003, briefing note, which was after Mr. Arar was returned to Canada. It was riddled with inaccuracies and omissions that to me were the product of either incompetence, negligence, or deliberate deception.
Do you accept that characterization? If so--same ultimate question, sir--were you personally involved in making that decision? If yes, what is your explanation? If no, given the notoriety of the case, why weren't you?
