Mr. Chair and members, I'm sure that members understand that CSE has three mandates under which it operates: IT security, foreign signals, and intelligence and assistance. These activities play a vital role in the protection of Canadians and Canadian interests here at home and abroad. For personal security reasons, CSE has chosen to continue to administer the pay of its employees independently of other departments. This means that it has opted out of integrating with the government-wide Phoenix pay system and consolidated its compensation service in the public service pay centre. That's $10,500 previously transferred out of the CSE budget line that is being reinstated.
