Acting Assistant Commissioner, Federal Policing, National Security, Royal Canadian Mounted Police

I'll take that one, Mr. Chair.

The RCMP didn't have an investigation under way during the 2019 and 2021 elections. If, in a future election, there are allegations of foreign interference, we can intervene on an ad hoc or on request basis.

We share this mandate with the Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections. The RCMP, as part of its national security program, certainly has a mandate to do that.
