Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will take the very first few seconds, if I might, to say that I have had many letters, even in the last 24 hours, from organizations that are concerned that they have not had an opportunity to testify. I wanted to put on the record that correspondence had been received from groups like the Coalition for Justice for Adil Charkaoui, the Justice for Mohamed Harkat committee, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the Canadian Arab Federation. I may have missed some, but those are the ones that I've heard from, and I wanted to note their concern that they had information they thought the committee should hear and were not being afforded the opportunity to speak before the committee.
I would like to ask either Mr. Forcese or Mr. Waldman this: if there is not an open communication between the special advocate and the detainee, as it is currently stated in Bill C-3 would not be the case, at least not once the special advocate had reviewed the information, could you speak to both what you might see as the legal implications of that, in terms of the court system, and what you would see as the moral and justice implications, if you will?
