Thank you.

Welcome to our witnesses.

This my first experience with this committee, and I am very enthusiastic about it.

My first question is very basic, Mr. McGuinty, just to get the discussion rolling.

The NSICOP is a new organization and there is currently a learning curve associated with it. It is an addition to our current structures.

To help us better understand what our intelligence organizations do, can you explain how this organization, the NSICOP, adds value to what was done in the past, before it was established?
