I appreciate that. My time is limited, so perhaps we can come back to that in a second. While the minister is here, though, I have a couple more questions.
We mentioned the mandate and the relationship with the Department of National Defence. That leads me to the question I asked the officials from Public Safety. We've spent a lot of time on this aspect of the bill. I think your presence here today is proof of the need to drill down on that aspect of it. This committee doesn't necessarily have the same kind of institutional memory that the committee of national defence would have. Can you explain why the decision was made to take a bill that essentially was moving on elements that were in the previous bill, Bill C-51 in the last Parliament, and essentially add this big block of stuff dealing with some significant changes to CSE as opposed to having it as stand-alone legislation?
