Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome again, Minister. It's good to see you back.
We have heard from a number of witnesses across the spectrum, and from many different experts. We've been very lucky to have their testimony before this committee, regarding the threat posed by cybercrime in the Canadian context. With respect to what's going on in Canada, we have a cybercrime coordination centre with the RCMP, as well as the Communications Security Establishment, which runs the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security.
Minister, as you know, when dealing with the federal government, it is a massive organization, and we can sometimes fall into siloed thinking. CSE reports to the Minister of Defence. The RCMP's unit reports to Public Safety. As a committee member, I want to know how these two ministries ensure there's harmonization in the work being done between those two agencies, and no duplication of work. Sometimes, things can get missed when you have two different ministries involved.
Can you give us an update on how those ministries and their respective agencies are working together on this very real problem?
