Thank you.

I will ask my questions in French for those who need the earpiece.

Minister, it is a pleasure to see you and your entire team again. Welcome to the committee.

I have just come from a two-hour meeting of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics, where representatives from Estonia talked about e-governance.

Clearly, beyond what is done on land, on sea and in the air, information is becoming the new battlefield. Big data is becoming a new target and a new playing field for conflicts between countries.

How will those new powers granted by Bill C-59 serve the CSE?
