I will ask you one question, and then I will turn the floor over to Mr. Ménard.

I came here to try to understand the role played by the RCMP compared to your role in the Maher Arar matter. I am not familiar with your systems, and the more you talk, the more confused I get..

You say you work with the RCMP, but that you do not share files; you have information that you do not share with the RCMP; you are not responsible for Mr. Arar's deportation, the RCMP is.

Do you work together or not? Do you work in parallel to the RCMP? Are you competitors who are trying to get into the Canadian government's good graces?
