Thank you, Mr. Chair.

My question is for Mr. Parsons.

Adam Segal, director of the digital security program at the Council on Foreign Relations, believes that both WeChat and TikTok should not be installed on the phones of U.S. officials or government employees.

In your brief, you mention that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service apparently warned members of Parliament that they should avoid using WeChat, because of nebulous cybersecurity risks.

Should Canadians and Quebeckers also be concerned about WeChat and TikTok, and follow the recommendations from CSIS?
