Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Commissioner, I have some questions that are really straightforward in terms of requiring just a factual answer. I think the answers may even be known already from the public record.
Is it the case that RCMP officials, under your overall superintending authority, gave false and misleading information to American officials--information that, in Justice O'Connor's words, likely contributed to Mr. Arar's deportation to Syria--and that this false and misleading information was subsequently corrected to American authorities by Canadian officials? You yourself have testified to that effect, I might add.
