I want to thank you, Minister, for being here today and also for the incredible amount of work you've put into this, making Canada, I do believe, one of the first countries in the world to have these kinds of protocols.
Recently the all-party democracy caucus heard from Chris Walker, who has written on sharp power. This is power that some authoritarian regimes use. It's distinguished from soft power because it is subversive and it's intended to change public opinion or divide public opinion in other countries. When you mention the foreign threats, we're not unique. This is happening in countries around the world.
You mentioned the G7 rapid response mechanism. I wonder if you could elaborate a little bit on that and also the other ways in which Canada is collaborating with other democratic countries around the world to be able to combat this threat.
