That's a good question. I think that a number of steps.... I'm going to sound like a broken record, but there should be more transparency on the part of the government at the political level but also at the bureaucratic level to better communicate with Canadians about what the nature of the threat is and what is being done to mitigate that threat.
When the information comes from the political level, there is of course always an issue of trust; it will be perceived—often rightly—by many Canadians as being politicized. That is part of the challenge. That is why some of the information has to come from the bureaucratic side, but when that happens, the challenge is that it can be perceived by some as interference, for lack of a better word, in an electoral campaign by security services, which is not something that is ideal, either.
That being said, I think that right now the debate on these issues is very polarized by the dissension we're seeing today, where on the one hand some people make exaggerated statements about the survival of Canada's democracy being at stake, which I don't think is the case. On the other side, you have other statements whereby the threat of foreign interference is dismissed, which I think underestimates the threat.
There is a need on the part of government officials to be much more transparent and provide a balanced view, saying yes, there's a problem, and it's a real problem, but being as accurate and balanced as possible.
