I'm going to answer your first question.
The committee has an obligation to keep its investigations secret. Section 48 of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act specifically provides that the committee's investigations are conducted in private. The act also states that, when they are before the committee, the parties do not have an absolute right to know the submissions of the other party. The committee has rules that provide that, when the evidence is before them, members must try to determine how they will ensure a balance between the rights of the parties and national security. This exercise is conducted in all complaints cases, but no one has an absolute right to know the information the other party will bring. In all cases, in all files, the committee tries to communicate as much information as possible to the complainant. Shading is done, and we try to provide as much information as possible to the complainant.
