After six years of subjecting Montrealer Adil Charkaoui to surveillance, imprisonment, and house arrest, the Canadian government admitted on July 31st, 2009 that they don't have the evidence to uphold the "security certificate" against Adil.

Federal Court Judge Tremblay-Lamer, issued a directive on August 5th stating that, “in light of the admission by the Ministers that the evidence is insufficient to meet their burden of proof," she will convene court hearings to determine whether she should quash the certificate or order the Ministers to revoke it themselves. These hearings will take place on 24 and 25 September (see more background and court directive here).
