A minute.... Thank you very much for the question.
In fact, to go back to the colleague's question on why you need a proper process to draw up these lists, I think you touched on it. This is not just a Canadian-made list. This is a list that has been worked on with our Five Eyes allies to make sure it will be the benchmark you're going to see.
I want to take the opportunity to thank all those who contributed. Colleagues, I've been fair in mentioning that there are a number of intelligence agencies in Canada that have been contributing, because it is fairly complex work.
I know there are politics in these committees, but let's be clear. We're talking about national security. This is very serious stuff. This is not about politics. This is about the people who put names of institutions on the list, which will have legal consequences. This is very serious. You don't want to miss anyone. You want to put the right ones on there. This work is being done diligently. As I said, that's why we're going to publish it soon, on both the research side and the entity side. It's to make sure we protect our national security.
However, to your point, I think the fact that we work with our Five Eyes partners should give comfort to our colleagues on both sides of the aisle, in terms of this being serious stuff. Protecting Canadian research is our top priority. The fact that we took time to do this should also give comfort to the research institutions and Canadians. This is work we are undertaking seriously to protect our national security for decades to come.
