Thank you very much, Mr. Guimont. I appreciate that.
Regardless, however, the Auditor General did identify $780 million within the audit period. He identified $570 million specifically for Communications Security Establishment Canada.
One of the things we always are a little bit concerned about is the process of double counting, where the government may suggest $780 million was spent on cyber-security in the advent of a cyber-security threat and then in the advent of a domestically radicalized insurgency threat all of a sudden $780 million is spent there as well.
It's useful from a parliamentary accountability point of view to have some clarity. I'm not asking for specific projects, which may infringe on national security requirements, but to have some clarity as to what exactly is prioritized for cyber-security versus other things.
Now with that said, I'll have to move on because my time is dear.
We appreciate, Mr. Guimont, that a very thorough, much more detailed publicly available document was provided on an action plan related to cyber-security. Would you be prepared to have that submitted to the clerk—that document entitled, “Action Plan 2010-2015 for Canada's Cyber Security Strategy”, which is a cross-governmental strategy—as a government-wide departmental action plan in relation to the Auditor General's report?
Would you be prepared to have with it and bear with it the same parliamentary accountability and scrutiny, which holds the government to account? That is, that which is found in this document is the same as that which is found in these two pages, in terms of its accountability requirements to this committee and to our report writing.
Would you agree to have this document submitted as a departmental action plan for the benefit of the committee and to be held account to that departmental action plan?
