You have to understand that, with like-minded partners, we do work overseas jointly. It's not like we would go into a friendly country and do things covertly. As a security intelligence service, and not just as a service—all of our partners do conduct operations covertly. That's kind of obvious. Although it might not be specific in their legislation, that's what a security service will do at times. Most of the time, for the service, we do our work overtly with our partners when they are like-minded, but there could be occasions when we're sending intelligence officers, for example, into countries that are not like-minded, when we might not tell that country what we're doing, because of the national interests of Canada but also for the safety of our officers.
