Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I would like to thank the witnesses for being here with us today.
Obviously, SCISA deals with national security and activities that undermine the security of Canada. If I, as a citizen, witnesses an activity that risked undermining the security of Canada, my first instinct would not be to contact the Department of Health or the Department of Transport.
Mr. Blais, you talked previously about the national security community. Who is part of this community? Are the 17 institutions listed in schedule 3 of SCISA part of the community?
I can understand why the Department of Finance is one of the institutions that can send or disclose information, but I can't figure out why several organizations are in schedule 3 as recipients.
My question is for the representatives of the three organizations that are with us today.
Given your national security experience, where do these 17 institutions fit in with schedule 3 of SCISA?
