Thanks very much.
Thank you to our witnesses for being here.
Now, I want to pre-empt what seems to have been the argument from the government on a number of cases. First—and it addresses this specifically, so I want to give you a chance to answer this—the government has said, “Oh, don't worry. It's not spyware.” It's troubling because these are incredibly powerful tools that have access to that personal information.
I'll direct that question to Mr. Prier. However, I'll ask my second one as well, which will be for Ms. Carr. It's surrounding the fact that it's a government device and, therefore, you basically have no rights. That's a paraphrase of even the questions that we heard from a parliamentary secretary in the last hour, and I think you were here for that. So, I'd like to ask for your opinion on that and whether you could provide some context as to why you referred to it as those things in your opening statement. Then I have a couple more questions that I'd like to get to.
We'll start with Mr. Prier.
