Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your testimony. I'm finding it very helpful.
We're in a unique opportunity. We have the former president of the Treasury Board here at committee now. We know that the decision to ban TikTok was one that was made by the chief information officer, who we'll have before committee. We have heard in previous testimonies from CSIS and from our Communications Security Establishment that they provided advice to the chief information officer. They wouldn't get into what the details were of their advice, but they provided advice and ultimately the decision back in February 27, I believe, was to ban this from government devices.
I would give you this opportunity, sir, and ask you this, with your subject matter expertise: If you were advising the chief information officer under this proposed ban of TikTok, what advice would you give them, and what other areas or topics might you have covered?
