Public Safety committee What you're reading is part of the new warrant conditions that we were proposing—and correct me, Rob—but it is basically going forward. When you read the decision, the judge didn't rule on what we have now in terms of destruction.

Public Safety committee In the Judge Noël decision, he does mention, in June 2016, the deputy minister of justice and myself appeared in front of the Federal Court en banc, so all available designated judges, to discuss the issue of duty of candour.

Public Safety committee If I were going to give you a timeline...I can't at this point. It is a very complex decision.

Public Safety committee The only information out of that metadata-associated data bank we would share is when we've done analyses and we can link a piece of that metadata to a threat.
December 8th, 2016Committee meeting
Michel Coulombe
Public Safety committee No, we wouldn't share raw metadata with other agencies. As I said, we would only share it once we've made the link between that metadata and a threat-related activity.
