In terms of the funding that Canadian universities are receiving, I want to stress that the role of CSIS is to analyze any research applications that are identified for national security review and that come to us. We then undertake a threat assessment based on our investigation and intelligence holdings, and provide that threat assessment to our Public Safety partners, who work with ISED, and ultimately to the funding agency to determine the decision on that specific funding proposal.
