I said I am a lawyer by profession. I first started as a lawyer with the Canadian Transport Commission, which changed names a few times, but I was there for about 10 years. I then moved to the Privy Council Office, where I was assistant secretary of legislation and house planning, and counsel; and then I became deputy clerk, security and intelligence, and counsel, for the Privy Council Office. I then moved to become associate deputy minister of transport, then Deputy Minister of Transport. I was there for five and a half years, and then I was Deputy Minister of National Defence for a couple of years, and since then have been Deputy Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness for almost two and a half years.
