Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Minister, for appearing today.
As you know, I chaired the subcommittee of this committee that reviewed the Anti-terrorism Act last year in the first session of this Parliament. When the Supreme Court ruled on the validity of the security certificate regime, there were a lot of media reports that in fact the Anti-terrorism Act had been struck down. You've told us that the security certificate regime actually came into effect in 1991. Maybe you can tell us a little bit more about the history of how it worked and why it came in.
Also, in many cases it may not necessarily be.... Some actually believe that this has solely to do with terrorism-related activities. Could you tell us about different types of national security risks that might be considered for someone who would be subject to a security certificate?
