Thank you, Mr. Chair.
What I can say is this. CSE's foreign intelligence collection operations and activities are founded on the basis of the National Defence Act. They are in the law under the National Defence Act. We collect foreign intelligence and conduct our foreign intelligence activities according to the government's intelligence priorities.
As you know, all of CSE's activities are reviewed by an independent commissioner who oversees all of CSE's activities. That commissioner has full access to all of our systems, our people, our information, and our repositories. He has the power of subpoena. He has never found CSE to be unlawful in any of its activities.
That is what I can tell you, Mr. Chair. Commenting on any specific or potential capabilities or operations of the Communications Security Establishment would be inappropriate of me.
