Thank you, Chair.

Thanks to all the witnesses.

My first question is for the Department of Public Safety and Ms. Geddes.

Funding in these estimates has been set aside for the new Canada community security program and the Canada Centre for Community Engagement and Prevention of Violence.

Can you speak to how the new Canada community security program builds off the success of SIP, the security infrastructure program, to keep safe the communities at risk of experiencing hate? Also, can you tell us about the important work that the Canada centre is doing, especially in the counter-radicalization space?
