Parm Bains at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to our security intelligence representatives for joining us today.

I'd like to take a moment to thank you for your work, your proactive efforts in community engagement and your work with respect to Bill C-70, specifically on strengthening the Foreign Interference and Security of Information Act, something that hadn't been done in over 20 years. I want to thank you and the department for your efforts there.

I want to start by stating that prolonged operations by TikTok could allow foreign actors to exploit Canadian user data or spread disinformation. Is this an accurate statement in your mind, Director Rogers?
