Mr. Chair, I'm not sure I would say that I would see that the role of CSIS would have been to organize such a briefing, but I think what is clear in hindsight is that the outcome for parliamentarians is not what anyone wanted, so my commitment to this committee is to learn from this, work with the committee and learn from the results of your work.
With our partners—I can tell you that I was talking to my partners at CSE—we all have the same objective, which is to make sure that in the future we're going to achieve a different outcome for parliamentarians.
I think this is one of the roles.... I would say, being very candid with you, that working with parliamentarians through the House of Commons is something we all need to get better at. We normally go through the House of Commons. I don't want members to think that this is a cop-out by saying that we shared the information with the House of Commons and we washed our hands. That was not at all the intent and the approach.
However, clearly, for people who were targeted by APT31, the outcome was not the one that people would have expected. My undertaking to this committee is that, with my colleagues, we will learn from this and make sure with our partners that we are achieving different outcomes in the future.
