Witnesses, thank you for attending today and for your testimony.

I want to draw your attention to what is now section 12.1 of the CSIS Act. It's a section that has attracted a lot of public dialogue and, to be fair, a lot of criticism, to put it bluntly. The section essentially authorizes the service to undertake certain measures that could potentially infringe on the charter.

I want to verify that the provision has not been used to date.
