Information & Ethics committee I'd make two comments. One is that we have been subject to privacy and access since CSIS was created in 1984. Privacy legislation was passed in 1983. In some ways that makes us unusual, because a lot of our sister agencies are not subject to equivalent legislation. So I think the shorter answer is no.

Information & Ethics committee I guess I'd start by saying--and maybe you would expect me to say this--that this kind of balance, in fact, very much informed the whole process of the birth of CSIS. As you probably know, we had four years of the McDonald commission. It spoke about the need for agencies like ours to meet both the requirements of security and the requirements of democracy.
