Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here in person and online.
Mr. Wark, I'd like to ask you a bit more about some of your opening remarks regarding intelligence gathering. I think Canada does a decent job, but it certainly sounds like we could do significantly better and contribute more. Perhaps we could have been included in the AUKUS, for example. We were left out of that agreement. I'd like you to comment on that.
I'd also like your thoughts on whether you think it would be a good idea to have a dedicated cabinet committee chaired by the Prime Minister on intelligence and national security.
