Public Safety committee  We certainly have to talk to Passport Canada about what information they push out now. Obviously, they would be looking at what's lawful to push out—if they had information—to make sure there's a lawful basis for that information to move. I haven't heard the concern that there'

Public Safety committee  The Prime Minister, I think, is where the buck stops. Under him is the Minister of Public Safety, and obviously the counterterrorism strategy is something that he released, but it was done in cooperation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Justice, the Minister

Public Safety committee  Certainly there's a series of deputy-level committees that meet frequently, almost weekly, to talk about emerging issues, whether those are threat issues or new policy or legislation. Those committees advise ministers, right up to the Cabinet Committee on National Security, which

Public Safety committee  Do you mean what the 10 sectors are, how the plan worked, and so on?

Public Safety committee  I'll do my best. Critical infrastructure is not my direct responsibility, but in 2010 the Minister of Public Safety, together with his counterparts in the provinces, announced the national strategy for critical infrastructure.

Public Safety committee  For the counterterrorism strategy, Public Safety Canada coordinates, on behalf of the security intelligence community, the implementation of that strategy, likewise for the strategy on critical infrastructure, and it is the same thing for the cyber-strategy. I'm sorry, I've for

Public Safety committee  Again, if you're talking about the PSAT money, I think that money has run out some time ago. Most resources for departments and agencies are called A-base or normal core funding of these departments. Are you asking if there are additional resources and who designs where incremen

Public Safety committee  Again I think you're talking about discrete initiatives of some years ago. Obviously for core spending now, there are departmental performance reports. There are various reports that are public and discussed. Whether it's the estimates, the public accounts, all that kind of norma

Public Safety committee  Are you talking about the PSAT money?

Public Safety committee  I don't have knowledge of the way that money was broken down.

Public Safety committee  I'm certain that some was allocated to the transport sector.

Public Safety committee  Just maybe in general terms and my colleagues can talk about a more specific link to rail. The beyond the border initiative agreement between President Obama and Prime Minister Harper is a big driver of a lot of security-related investments and efforts over the last few years. Of
