If we turn to the 2020 annual report, starting at paragraph 12, Canadians and members can see a description of the critical election incident public protocol that was put into place. It's a big name, but it basically creates a panel of five persons chaired by the Clerk of the Privy Council to be on guard for Canadians during the federal election process.
When it was originally constituted, it was all about receiving information about cyber interference activities during a federal election. A report was then prepared by Jim Judd, the former head of CSIS. That report, under the cabinet decree, was sent to NSICOP for review.
As a result of deliberations, the committee made a number of recommendations to the Prime Minister and the Government of Canada to improve that panel. We illustrated as well, of course—as Mr. Paul-Hus just referred to and if you look at paragraph 70 of our report—the fact that China likely launched cyber attacks on the Australian Parliament and three largest political parties before its last general election. We cite, of course, Russian activities in the U.S. 2016 presidential election.
