Essentially the centre that I direct has a vision, and I think the vision is perfectly aligned with the remarks made in my testimony, which is that security is necessary for prosperity, and that prosperity is therefore necessary for long-lasting security. That's essentially at the heart of the reason why I started my testimony with that quote from Benjamin Franklin. I think it's at the heart of the issue when it comes to sovereignty and civil liberties versus making sure that Canadian citizens are safe. I think that's where we find our nexus.
