I'll use foreign signals intelligence as an example and I'll leave part (b) aside for the moment.
What they understand is that we collect foreign signals intelligence in accordance with intelligence priorities that are set by cabinet. They understand what those intelligence priorities are. They understand that we're limited within our mandate to direct our activities outside of Canada at foreigners. As a result, if they have something in that context, they'll obviously say, “Here's something that might lead to the collection of foreign intelligence that we're interested in. Therefore you have a mandate to collect it, ultimately assess it, and disseminate that across governments for the benefit of the intelligence community.” It's understood.
