I'm no expert but a public inquiry can still call for classified documents and testimony, like the committee though the judge could basically do the review behind closed doors.

We see it in every committee that the Liberals combine with the NDP and block what they don't like. Its part of their services agreement that the NDP has to help the Liberals not get embarrassed in committee. We saw it yesterday when the Libs and NDP denied calling Justin's chief of staff. We've also seen denial of documents.
Also the annoyance of votes to shut down meetings on top of fillibusters.
