Thank you, Mr. Callan.
As I don't have much time to speak, I would also like to ask Ms. Cianfarani some questions.
Ms. Cianfarani, I would like to hear your comments on the rigidity that the government sometimes has with regard to security clearances. For example, I've had people tell me that they applied for a position at the Communications Security Establishment and they were blocked at the last stage of verification because the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or RCMP, was a bit strict on issuing security clearances.
Couldn't we allow ourselves to be a little more open so that there is better collaboration between the private sector and the public sector, so that people can more easily make the jump from one to the other?
Are federal security standards too strict? Aren't they simply inappropriate?
What can be fixed to ensure better collaboration?
