Thank you, Chair. I appreciate the time.
I have a few questions that I'd like to ask all three witnesses. More than likely, they will just require yes-or-no answers. If there's something very important that you feel you need to add, do let me know.
Throughout the study, we've heard department officials and even the Minister of Public Safety repeatedly say that Bill C-22 is encryption-neutral—that was the word used—and does not create back doors.
Having reviewed the legislation, do you believe those assurances are fully reflected in the text of the bill itself, Mr. Hatfield?
