When you take a step back, Canadians often—and rightly so—think of Canada as a country that goes around the world and promotes democracy. In doing so, you are strengthening civic institutions, and you are helping people participate.
When you look at the actions of Canadian companies, for example AIQ, they are doing the exact opposite of that. Canada as a country does not know about that activity because it does not require, for example, proactive registration of any kind of activity in a foreign election.
One of the things that I've been speaking to American members of Congress about is that in the same way that you have to register foreign agents who are lobbying or conducting work in the United States, you should also have a registry of companies that are doing work outside in other elections or in electoral contacts to allow oversight, whether that is government oversight or civic society oversight of the operations of companies in other elections.
I don't know if the Canadian government was aware that SCL also had an elections division. One of the things that could be done is better due diligence about what the other projects and activities are that the company being contracted by the Canadian government is doing in other places.
The question is simply, what other projects have you done in the past two years or are you currently working on and are any of those political?
