First of all, good morning everybody. Thank you very much for coming here.
I want to stay with the same theme, but I want to just ask your advice on something, or where you think things could be improved.
We know the process of gathering information has changed over the last 30 to 50 years. We're relying less on human sources and more on technological sources, and this question probably pertains more to Mr. Plouffe.
We're talking about information gathering, and Mr. Blais, in your opening comments you talked about having specific, detailed information-sharing agreements. When you have 17 government departments and 110 agencies that have the possibility to share information and you're sharing information among yourselves, there are going to be ambiguous points. Information is shared and information is collected and then it's going to be shared with another body, so that information is going to be stored in one area and it's going to be shared with another area. How do we determine—Mr. Plouffe, I know you highlighted this in your opening comments—how that information is to be stored and how it is to be disposed of, if that information is not required?
I know the RCMP often conducts search warrants and that in some cases the information that you derive from the search warrant may be sent off to another organization. In the end, that information may be determined to be not actionable or not relevant, so I'm wondering where the information is being stored right now. Maybe you can give us some guidance about that. Also, could you comment on how that information should be disposed of so that it's not residing in one place in perpetuity.
