I have a couple of quick questions.

Thank you for being here today.

When the Inspector General was re-appointed in 2010, the minister said that her office helped to ensure that CSIS operated within the law and followed current policies. When did that cease to be important under her office? You're saying it's going to be done through SIRC, but the minister at the time said it was important that the Inspector General fulfill that function. What has changed since then?
