National Defence committee Right. We have the same concerns. The commissioner has the same concerns as you're expressing. With recent changes in the United States, for example, the commissioner met with the chief of CSE last month. Is that right, Commissioner?

If it relates to information with a privacy interest and if it is not essential, as the commissioner referred to in his opening remarks, it would be destroyed.
