Thank you very much for your comments.
Colleagues, before I introduce our last two witnesses, for your information, we had originally invited officials from Public Safety Canada. They had suggested that, since we are dealing with national security exceptions, the RCMP and CSIS would be better positioned to answer any questions we may have, and that's why we have representatives from those two organizations before us.
Mr. Watters, you're representing the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Please go ahead with your opening statement.
