Let me take a try at it.
I would say that Mr. Justice O'Connor did explicitly find that Mr. Arar was appropriately a person of interest in the inquiry. So he did make that...about the RCMP, who were the ones investigating.
More generally, I would say that CSIS is a very centralized organization by the nature of its being an intelligence organization. They do report centrally. They control their information centrally and they report all investigations. In fact, there's a very elaborate system, one level for proving them within the service, but then warrants are approved by the minister, and so on. Any liaison relationship they have is approved by a couple of ministers. So there's a very elaborate system within CSIS with regard to overall control of and accountability for what they investigate.
With the RCMP, one of the recommendations Mr. Justice O'Connor made was that their national security investigations post-9/11, when they had increased the amount they were doing, were not centralized enough. They were still being run too much like, if I can put it this way, ordinary police investigations, which is often at the district or command-post level, because that's how criminal investigations unfold. His recommendation, with which the government agrees and I personally agree, is that when you're dealing with national security, it is appropriate that it be more centralized. The RCMP have actually moved to do that, and therefore it's more centralized in the RCMP.
Now does that guarantee there will never be another error? No. Obviously we are organizations of human beings, and there may be errors. Does it help greatly to mitigate what happened here? Yes, I believe it does.
