I don't expect an answer on it, but I'm raising it because I think the committee needs to consider it.
I was in Moldova in the summer and watching the level of interference from Russia in the sovereignty of Moldova in terms of its upcoming elections and the way they were using money to buy support. That seems to me to be horrendous activity in a near neighbour to our NATO neighbours. I just put it on the record that I'm looking for a threat assessment at some point and maybe we need to consider it as a committee.
The second area of questioning has to do with our response. I understand that the minister directed officials to call in the Russian ambassador to express our concern. Following up on Madam Fortier's questions, there's a range of activities, from diplomatic to démarches. We have 5,000 sanctions on Russia already. I forget the new number. We have a range of activities in terms of what we can do.
Should our quiver be growing? Are there things we should be doing more of to express very strongly to Russia not only our displeasure but our outrage at its engagement with our NATO partners?
