Mr. Chairman, we know that the leaks in fact began even before the period of time that Justice O'Connor looked at; they began in 2002. In fact, those leaks were used by the then opposition Conservatives to characterize Mr. Arar as a terrorist and to attack the Canadian government for not moving more quickly to condemn him and cooperate with U.S. authorities.
In light of the fact that these leaks occurred over 2002 and beyond--over a very long, protracted period of time--why was the attention of the RCMP at the highest level, at the commissioner level, not focused on this to ensure that further mistakes did not happen, when in fact we know that during the period between 2003 to 2005 misleading information was still being given to U.S. authorities?
You said you've accepted the findings of the O'Connor report that said full information was not given. Why did we not see intervention at the highest level, starting as early as the first leaks in 2002, to ensure that the type of thing that has happened didn't occur?
