I would pursue this line of questioning, but I want to ask another question. With limited time, I will go to the second question.
CSIS has both a limited foreign intelligence mandate and a security intelligence mandate. In recent years the security intelligence mandate has been interpreted to allow it more latitude to engage in activities outside of Canada, activities that appear to be more than just liaison with other similar agencies for limited purposes. Recently it was stated that CSIS may have as many of 50 of its staff engaged in activities outside of Canada.
Can you describe for us the mandate of CSIS with respect to its activities outside of Canada and include what types of activities it engages in as part of this mandate? Second, are there procedures in place requiring approval by the director and the minister for such activities outside of Canada?
