No, and we have a very healthy set of feedback loops and accountability tools in Canada.

I'll venture out and point you to the ArriveCAN issue, which has blown up in the last little while. We have a parliamentary committee at work. We have at least three—I think it's four—officers of Parliament at work, and we do have a police investigation. In fact, there was a entanglement last week at one of the parliamentary committees because witnesses didn't want to compromise a police investigation.

We have all kinds of accountability tools in Canada, which seem to still be functional.
