Mr. Martin Callinan:

It might help to clarify matters. If, for instance, a source is being registered, he or she goes through the usual process. He or she is considered to be a good mark for information etc., and recommendations are made and sent up through the chief superintendent to the assistant commissioner in charge of crime and security who will further assess that. It will then travel back. The assistant commissioner in charge of crime and security is the person who holds the true identities of all of those providing information to us.
