Good afternoon, everyone.
Thank you for your question.
You're referring to project CLEMENZA. More specifically, it's important to be careful with conclusions that are drawn without having all the facts concerning the decisions that were made by the Crown. In some circumstances, there was indeed an aspect related to the technology that was used, but this technology was used in compliance with judicial authorizations that were obtained.
In this case, the issue was about our ability to divulge the technology and certain details related to it, something that we were not in the position to do. It is therefore important to be careful not to draw certain conclusions.

This is unfortunately an issue that will require a bit more discussion than my speaking time can offer. I still want to flag this issue, because it will be an extremely important one to follow during your mandate. That is my humble opinion.

Thank you, Mr. Dubé.
On behalf of the committee I want to thank you, Commissioner and Minister Goodale, for coming before us. I hope this was a fruitful and good working exercise between the commissioner and the committee. My wife too will be surprised to learn that empathy can be taught.
We look forward to seeing Minister Goodale tomorrow morning.
With that, we are going to adjourn.
