Madam Chair, I don't know if the commissioner or the director of CSIS can perhaps add to this. They participated in some of those discussions. Certainly Director Vigneault was in his job and was in some of those same meetings as I was at the time—or the deputy minister.
I know that as a government we looked at a threat picture across the country based on what we were hearing from law enforcement partners across the country. This was publicly available reporting. There was an increased risk of a contagion or a spread. That was one of the important factors we considered.
I don't know if the commissioner or David wants to add something.
