Thank you, gentlemen, for your presence here today, to answer some very difficult and pointed questions.
Carrying through with some of the questions with regard to information sharing with the United States, in particular, you mentioned at the beginning that you do share information with foreign entities and that this information sharing goes back and forth. Yet in the Arar case, you did not share information with the United States. I suspect some people would think that's because the RCMP said they were going to be the Canadian agency that was going to share this information, that they would take the lead on it.
So first, is it strange for you not to share certain kinds of information that would be going back and forth to Canada? Second, in this case, did the RCMP tell you to stay hands-off because they were handling this one?
