Obviously, the protocol is not working. The fact that you had to proactively reach out yourself is an issue.
When CSIS and CSE were here, I think there was a fundamental misunderstanding about what MPs actually do. I'm not an intelligence officer. I would not know what they do, but there really is a disconnect, I think. They don't realize, as Ms. Sgro said, that the work we do puts us more at risk in terms of interest from others, whether they be state actors or non-state actors. We never want MPs to change what they're doing. We want them to continue to do what they're doing, because it is important work, whether it be here in Canada or abroad or standing up for human rights.
What would you recommend that this committee put forward in terms of making sure that intelligence agencies and those who are asked to protect us, whether physically or in the virtual world, understand what we do and how we do it? What would you recommend that we recommend to them?
That's for any of the witnesses.
