Thank you, Chair.
Just as a point of note, while I take the privacy concerns of Canadians extremely seriously and think it's vital that we remain on guard and always vigilant when it comes to that privacy, I do want to highlight the difference between our organization and the NSA to follow up on Mr. Bezan's point.
In the U.S. the NSA budget is over $50 billion. It's not just 10 times our budget, it is over 100 times our budget—just to highlight the capabilities. I feel sometimes people see what's happening in the United States and automatically assume the same thing is happening in this country, given some of the reports. I think it is important to highlight the difference in capability.
On that question, Mr. Forster, do you feel you have the resources to do your job adequately, to safeguard and protect the country as you're mandated to do or your group's mandated to do?
