Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, everyone. My questions will be in French.
I know your mandate is to ensure the Communications Security Establishment activities comply with the laws of Canada. However, during this francophonie week, I want you to talk about the French fact within your agency.
Since you have all the powers of the Inquiries Act, you have unfettered access to all CSE facilities, documents and personnel. You have broad access to the agency and some perspective on it. Can you explain how CSE, as a federal entity, handles bilingualism? More importantly, can you explain how French affects CSE's relationship with our Five Eyes allies, which operate in English?
