Thank you.

My next question has to do with CSE, the Communications Security Establishment, whoever can answer that.

I see that in the budget there was a transfer for the cybersecurity authority to CSE, which is under Defence. Now, we all fully believe that there has to be a full investment in increasing our cybersecurity. In Bill C-74, in the budget estimates, you talk about employees from the Canadian Cyber Incident Response Centre also being transferred over to CSE, but there is still funding for cybersecurity within the Public Safety portfolio.

I'm curious to know whether that's a duplicate. If you're taking all that and moving it over to Defence, how are you able to justify both?
