I think it's simple. I don't necessarily want to get into a policy debate specifically. However, allowing the police a level of independence—and that includes the commissioner of the RCMP and those who work within the organization and for the commissioner—and respecting that independence is important, because we do have a job and we take it very seriously. We wish to share information as much as we possibly can. That's always been our practice, although there are many who feel differently about that. There are very good reasons, as I explained, why there is certain information that we don't release.
