In an extradition proceeding concerning a drug trafficking conspiracy, both the Attorney General of Canada and the respondents brought applications regarding the disclosure of materials related to a confidential witness.
The respondents sought the identity of the witness, unredacted copies of the Information to Obtain (ITO), and audio/video recordings of a meeting.
The Attorney General sought to vary a previous order requiring production of the recordings, citing the witness's consent and public interest privilege.
The court denied the request for the witness's identity due to safety concerns but ordered the Attorney General to submit the edited recordings and an unredacted ITO with a judicial summary to the court for review.
