Thank you very much.
Mr. Neuenschwander from Apple and Ms. Patell from Google, I appreciate your testimony and your being here. I've read your submissions. As a general counsel for a computer company before I went into politics, I'm sympathetic to strengthening protection for encryption and clarifying the definition of “systemic vulnerability” and some of the other provisions you mentioned.
I want to respond to something Ms. Kirkland said. Authorities provisions are standard in any compliance framework. They are in many federal laws, and they don't really specifically relate to the core lawful access provisions of this bill. I just wanted to get that out.
Mr. Neuenschwander, I've read what you said. Has Apple ever gone before a parliamentary committee or made a submission to a national parliament on a lawful access regime that Apple actually supported?
