Thank you very much for the question.
When I was the Executive Vice-President at the Canada Border Services Agency, that organization was the second most important federal government agency in terms of law enforcement. I had the pleasure to work a lot with intelligence services. I learned a great deal from working in the criminal realm. We had many cases at our borders, and we were Canada's first line of defence against crime. I was also part of, and still am, a committee of deputy ministers responsible for national security.
When I was the executive vice-president, I worked with FINTRAC. I really saw the work being done there and the importance of information given to us and the information we gave to FINTRAC. At that time, I was very interested in that work and I knew that, owing to my work in security and regulation and regulatory administration, as well as my experience with computer systems and intelligence, the position would be a very good fit for me.
