Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
As a point of clarification to our witnesses, there's been some request for further information, so I would simply ask—and I hope with the agreement of other members of the committee—that the documents that have been asked for be provided by June 1. I think that would be a very reasonable request.
Director Sage, could you describe for me Project Arachnid? Do you have any involvement in that? I note on their website that it specifically states, “Project Arachnid does not use or rely upon facial recognition technology. It uses hashing technology — which is technology that assists in matching a particular image or video against a database of known child sexual abuse material.”
Mr. Sage, could you outline your familiarity with Project Arachnid and explain exactly what it is?
