Thank you, Chair.
Thanks to both of you, Mr. Hutton and Mr. Perrault, for your opening statements. In the interests of time, though, I would like to focus on Mr. Perrault.
Several meetings ago, the investigative journalist and researcher Vivian Krause testified before committee and addressed particularly the millions of American charitable dollars with a stated political objective in the last Canadian election. Those charitable American dollars were sent to Canadian charitable groups, which then transformed the money into legitimate Canadian dollars. They were then distributed in many cases to third parties to be used, presumably, to help further those political objectives of the original American donors.
I wonder if you could address your inability to contain, track and penalize such obvious unacceptable interference with the Canadian electoral process.
