Thank you very much, and thank you to the witnesses for being here.
Obviously a lot has been reported on publicly. There are a lot of opinions floating around. It's good to have some subject-matter expertise. I particularly enjoy the opportunity to have former members of our security apparatus here before us. I talk often about the duty of candour, which you are legislated to extend to the courts. I wish we had a deeper commitment from our security apparatus to have the same duty of candour to Parliament. Perhaps we'd be able to avoid situations like this in the future.
Mr. Stanton, in the interview on CBC Radio, you stated that Canada needs to amend its CSIS Act to empower national security agencies to deal with foreign influence, not just foreign interference. I think that's an important point.
Can you please explain the difference between foreign influence and foreign interference?
