Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Fadden and Mr. Coulombe.
Mr. Fadden, in terms of getting a clearer picture of the expansion of our international role, I worked in the 2004-05 period on the committee that was looking at having parliamentary oversight of all of our intelligence services, not only what is done by SIRC. I think from all of our traditional allies, the United States, England, Australia--I wouldn't say this was public, but behind the scenes there were regular complaints from them that at the international level we were not carrying our equal weight as those allies were.
Were you aware of those types of comments from our allies at that period of time?
