My understanding is that the CBC approached the service many months ago, well before I was director, with a view to producing a special on the 25th anniversary of CSIS. I understand that was discussed at length within the government at the time, and that approval in principle was given. After I was appointed director, the matter came up again, and I can't remember if it was we who raised it with them, or they with us. We thought it would be a useful thing to do--to have the 25th anniversary program--but the initial idea came from the CBC.
