Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, gentlemen. Thank you for coming here today.
It probably would be fair to characterize the Maher Arar case as probably one of the biggest, if not the biggest, intelligence failure that our country has seen--from targeting an innocent individual in an investigation, to sharing information beyond the normal protocols, to creating leaks, to misleading government officials. It's serious stuff. I think the majority of Canadians are very nervous. They have lost a certain amount of confidence about the intelligence community in our country.
I think what is making Canadians more anxious is the fact that after the findings of Justice O'Connor's report, beyond verbal assurances and pledges, we have yet to see concrete and tangible measures being implemented by any of the intelligence agencies to assure us that these errors are never going to happen again.
Can you comment, Mr. Judd, on some operational and tangible measures that CSIS has taken, beyond making pledges, which are welcome and needed?
