Procedure and House Affairs committee  As I said, there were no.... We were not briefed on any threats, but I think it's—

Procedure and House Affairs committee  As I said, not that I was briefed on....

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Call a national inquiry and open the scope to more than the last eight years.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I think that's completely—

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Well, Elections Canada can absolutely investigate the actions of foreign interference going forward now.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Elections Canada can investigate now. Elections Canada, sir, can investigate now, as well as a public inquiry.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  But they can actually—

Procedure and House Affairs committee  You haven't.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Why don't you, in your preamble, sir, tell me what you've actually done?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I believe I was called here to testify on foreign interference. Madam Chair, I believe you would probably want to keep the questions relevant, considering I am here for an hour. This is not a committee to discuss the Elections Act. We could do that another day. This is to discuss foreign interference.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No. I think a way to address foreign interference is for the government to take it seriously.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  You're 100% right, and I'm very cognizant of the work that the Conservative caucus, led by Melissa Lantsman, has done in terms of bringing awareness and pushing forward the Liberal government to list the IRGC as a terrorist entity, which would be the right and proper thing to do.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I don't know. I guess you should ask them.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  My recommendation, had I been briefed on that, would have been that the person no longer be a candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada.
