Commissioner, thank you for being here this morning. Thank you for your forthrightness and for your apology to Mr. Arar and family.
You alluded to specific changes that you made in your organization to ensure that such occurrences as we are meeting here today to discuss don't occur again.
I have two questions.
The first one is, specifically what changes in your organizational structure and reporting have you taken to ensure that there is proper supervision over such investigations?
Secondly, what are the philosophical or practical reasons why you would not wish to have an external police agency take a second look at what you're doing or specifically assist in an investigation where you may have a member or members who have broken the law? The reason I ask that question is related to some experiences I've seen in other police forces, whereby an external police force will come in to ensure that there is an independent oversight, just to make sure that justice not only is done but appears to have been done from an investigative point of view.
