Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Through you, I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here today. I think it's a great panel, because the witnesses here today can kind of walk us through the process.
I want to make sure everyone understands how one would currently obtain security clearance. If I'm understanding correctly, there needs to be an administrator or someone who deems that, for the person who is applying for security clearance, there's a reason they need it. There has to be a justification for that. Once that is made, they can apply for the screening. They go through the screening. They have to pass said screening. There's a recommendation. I believe in some cases CSIS would do the screening and make a recommendation saying yes or no. At that point, the person would get their secret clearance. Again, that's in the case of secret clearance.
Once they have the secret clearance, it does not mean they can access every secret document of the Government of Canada. Is that correct?
