Thank you very much.
I just want to mention three things. First, if any of you have written submissions that you didn't get to present orally, we're happy to receive them. They will come to the committee and the committee will consider them.
Second, I want you as a committee to confirm that you'd be okay to go until about 4:10 or 4:15 so we have a full round of questioning. I notice it takes about eight minutes to get seven minutes of questioning in with our members, so, if you're willing, we'll go to about 4:10 or 4:15, so we get a full round in.
The last thing is that, as chair, I should have said as we began the meeting that we are not from the government. This is a parliamentary committee. The government issues through the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness a green paper. Part of our work is also to examine, as parliamentarians, the green paper. However, our consultation is not on the green paper, but it uses it. We are quite free to go further than that in our recommendations to Parliament regarding the national security framework.
We will begin now with Mr. Di Iorio.
