Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for their testimony today.
I listened with interest to Mr. Wark's presentation, and I'm sure you listened to it as well. He has strong opinions. He referred to the Five Eyes and our international partners. He said they would not view this legislation very favourably; they do not have this kind of provision as proposed in Mr. Ruff's bill in their systems, and they are looking at NSICOP and other innovations we have introduced very favourably.
I wonder if you might comment on his testimony and whether you agree with it, and summarize the risks you see of passing this legislation. I haven't heard a crisp opinion from you on whether you support or don't support Bill C-377.
I'll then cede my time to Mr. Turnbull.
