Thank you very much, Chair.
I want to welcome the CSIS director back to this committee. I'm not sure how many times we're going to ask him to keep coming back. I think this is at least the third time.
Thank you for your patience. I know you're a very busy person.
I also want to welcome Madame Drouin and congratulate her on her new assignment as the security adviser at the Privy Council Office.
Thank you. I've always enjoyed working with you.
Madame Drouin, I'm going to start with you and ask this question: In your experience thus far—and I know you've been with PCO for some time—what role, if any, does the Privy Council Office play in protecting Canada's research and intelligence?
