At a minimum, would it not be the case that the Minister of Public Security would also have then to be advised that the information was false and misleading? To put it another way, why should the U.S. authorities have had that false and misleading information corrected? The Canadian Minister of Public Security never had it corrected while the commission of inquiry was set up, or even before that.
I'll put it to you another way. Would it not have been something that, as the Minister of Public Security, you ought to have known? The government ought to have known in order to determine whether a commission of public inquiry was the appropriate mechanism or some other mechanism, shouldn't it?
