I do not know if Mr. McGill is in a position to answer my final question. In terms of cybersecurity across different EU member states, there is a mixture of lead departments. Sometimes the department of defence is the primary authority while in other states it is the department of justice or national security. Have there been many interdepartmental discussions as to where best this authority would lie? Does Mr. McGill know why the Department of justice was ultimately selected?
