Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to both officials for your attendance here this afternoon.

Following up on the question that Mr. Rousseau just asked with respect to information sharing and coordinated response, when I look at annex A of the document Building Resilience Against Terrorism, I see no fewer than 20 federal agencies listed with some sort of mandate with respect to counter-terrorism, everything from Border Services to the RCMP, CSIS, Health Canada, Finance, some 20 agencies.

How are they coordinated? How do they interact? Is there a lead agency and is there duplication of services or tasks somewhere, with all of those agencies providing some piece of the puzzle?
