I would like to remind Mr. Ehsassi that the reason this meeting was held in camera is that witnesses are normally more talkative in such a setting. They give us more relevant or more confidential information. That said, I don’t think that was the case today. In my opinion, we heard a very general presentation that did not really contain any sensitive security information.
I was present when the decision was made, and that was the argument that was put forward. It was even Mr. Sari who argued that public servants talk more when they testify behind closed doors. However, I did not feel that the witnesses were more talkative today. They gave very proper testimony and were co‑operative.
We simply need to set the record straight and clarify the reason why it was decided to hold the meeting in camera.
