Bill C-59 requires you, as the Minister of Defence, to have interactions and contact with Foreign Affairs on CSIS matters and CSE matters. Given the fact that the national security adviser was asked by the PMO to brief the press, I'm wondering whether you were consulted on that. If you were not, should we write into this bill that the national security adviser should not brief the press until he has first consulted you?
