As Inspector Sneddon has said, they want to protect their source because they are afraid that if they go to court, they will be compelled to disclose; and with that fear, there is a tendency to keep the information for oneself.
Comme l'inspecteur Sneddon l'a dit, le SCRS ou la GRC veulent protéger leurs sources de crainte que celles-ci soient contraintes de divulguer des renseignements si elles comparaissent devant le tribunal; c'est pourquoi chacun a tendance à garder l'information pour soi.
