Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses. I appreciate your being here with us today.
This may be a bit of a repetition, but just so it's clear in my own mind too, you talked about the first communications with the House of Commons when you found out about the attacks in January 2021. Our concern, of course, is that there was a significant amount of time—and I certainly understand, in terms of the conversations that have been had, that you learned more as time went on, and you were reporting that. That's great. I think the key point here, though, is that at whatever point, none of this was reported to the individual MPs in question. This is what we have to investigate. We have to determine if this is the problem.
Could you go over again, for my own sake, why it's so important that there is almost that divide that occurs? There's this space where you're not directly communicating with the members once it's determined that there is this sophisticated actor, as you've labelled them. Why is that intermediary position so important? Why couldn't there have been maybe a joint communication with the members of Parliament who were impacted? Are you maybe looking at the advantages or disadvantages of that? This is constantly a learning process. I understand that as well. How will things maybe change in the future? Are you considering how we can move forward from this?
