If you are talking about open source information on the ISPs, which is available to the public, yes, you are right. It's where our tech crime people use information and analyze it to determine whether there is any criminality, whether there's a financial institution at risk, to alert them that we have seen this open source information on the Internet.
With respect to child exploitation—I'm sure the superintendent will talk about that in a minute—even as speak here at this committee, it's going on right now.
With respect to the exchange of information between CSIS and the RCMP, CSIS gathers intelligence in a less informal way, and not with respect to criminal issues within Canada. They look at national security issues when they gather information. When it becomes criminal, they will share that information, because now it moves into our mandate. Vice-versa, if we have intelligence that should be shared with them with respect to national security issues, then we have mechanisms by which we share with CSIS.
I'm in technical operations. A lot of the technical tools we develop are shared with CSIS with respect to how we use technology and surveillance and whatever. We have an excellent relationship with CSIS with respect to the MOUs in place for exchanging technical tools that allow them to do their jobs as well. It depends on the level, because each of us has a different mandate. We are law enforcement, and they are intelligence gathering for national security, whereby they brief the PCO and allow them to know of an impeding threat or a possible threat to Canadians as a whole. The RCMP, on the other hand, are guided by the various statutes and regulations along with the Criminal Code, as far as law enforcement is concerned.
I would say the collaboration in the recent arrest in Toronto would heighten the fact of how integration.... We worked well with not only CSIS but also multiple police agencies.
I hope I answered your question.
