Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, thank you for being here with us.
I'd like to talk to you about Judge Noël's ruling concerning the retention of data by CSIS.
The day after the decision, when you spoke to the media, you were asked whether it was appropriate to retain data on persons who do not constitute a threat to national security. You answered that that question had to be looked at and that you were willing to hear the opinion of both camps to decide how to follow up on that.
Something worries me about those words, and perhaps you could give me some further details on this. I hope you are not opening the door to this type of practice, that is to say the retention of data on persons who are not a threat to national security.
