Like I said, these kinds of harassment attempts are very carefully crafted. Despite the fact that there have been very real death threats against dissidents, the police have also said that there is nothing they can do, and there are no first steps to do to protect these individuals. We know that policing doesn't work, and this is why we recommended a foreign transparency scheme paired with the commission because this type of information cannot really.... We can't let it go. We can't let these stories go, and we can't let this kind of valuable information go without sharing it with the public. The public should know how many Canadians feel unsafe and feel that they're being harassed.
The CCP is only one regime. We know that other governments are also doing these types of behaviours, and we need federal data collection on these types of issues.
