Let me clarify your scenario. I believe I said that at the request of the government, National Defence equities can be brought to bear in any of the environments, including cyber, to address a national concern or interest or national security. I didn't say there was policy or legislation to prohibit us from doing that; I said we wouldn't unilaterally make that decision. It would be a decision taken by the government and administered through the Canadian Armed Forces.
