We're going to continue now with the second part of our meeting.
It was the committee's request to spend a little more time with officials from CSIS. We're very pleased that the director, Mr. Coulombe, is here with us, as well as Mr. Cousineau, who is here as the assistant director. We also welcome, from the Department of Justice, Mr. Frater, chief general counsel.
I understand that the director has a statement. Members should have copies of it.
We'll give them time to make a statement, and then we'll proceed to questioning.
Welcome.
