Probably the best I can do to reassure you is to say that we've had a commissioner who has reviewed CSE's activities for privacy for more than 20 years. In assessing our activities and looking for privacy concerns or lawfulness, he touches on these kinds of activities, the open source research that we do to support our activities, because a lot of our activities require this to be effective. To my knowledge, he has never found any issue with the degree of research that CSE has done, the sources that we have accessed, or how we have handled and managed that information.
