I understand, Mr. Minister, and appreciate that. What I'm trying to establish is that if the committee has questions—reasonable questions—as to what's in the contract, you would not necessarily be the best person to respond to the clauses that we standardly put in contracts to protect Canada's security. If I were to represent to you that what happens is that the department establishes security requirements and then security experts frame contractual clauses and due diligence processes based on their expertise to ensure that the client's—the department's—security requirements are fulfilled, that would essentially be the way to do that, and we do have experts, lawyers, who do this all their days and all their lives and who could come to the committee and answer those questions. Is that correct?
