Thank you. It was deliberate. It was a Warwick Capper term. It's part of my lexicon.

In summary, I do welcome the fact that the PJCIS inquiry will continue. This provides an opportunity to address the serious and outstanding national security concerns—most particularly, but not limited to, the US CLOUD Act and our security cooperation—to address the privacy and civil liberties concerns. I have to say, a lot of what I've seen and received via email is clearly overstated. Warrants remain for the interception of individual communications, as has existed for decades, but we could strengthen it with judicial oversight. Very importantly, as others will talk about, we can take the time to consider the economic impacts and our economic security.
