Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
It's good to be here again today. I've appreciated the testimony we've heard so far.
During the course of the testimony, we've heard that the engagement of CSIS is based on whether or not they perceive a possible threat to the national security of Canada and at what level.
My question goes to the documents that were tabled with the Special Joint Committee on the Declaration of Emergency. According to those documents, the national security adviser's briefing to the cabinet on the protests the night before the invocation includes the comment, “CSIS/CSE: No concerns at this time.”
Can you shed some light on the service's lack of concern about the protests even the night before the Emergencies Act was invoked?
