It's nice to see you here, Mr. McGuinty.
This is your third annual report, and this year's version isn't the first to highlight threats posed by foreign interference. Over the past year, Canadians have been seeing and hearing more from CSIS about this issue than ever before.
We've heard recently that while a former CSIS director in 2010 sounded the alarm on foreign interference by the Government of China, the public safety minister called the decision regrettable and the PMO admonished the CSIS director for doing his job. Last year, CSIS contacted more than 225 entities across Canada and briefed at least 2,000 Canadian stakeholders.
In your opinion, what do recent efforts by CSIS to raise awareness say about the level of seriousness granted to this issue?
