Thank you for the question.
I'll add that the Government of Canada needs to treat our digital security like the House of Commons treats our physical security. I feel safe around the parliamentary precinct because I know there are enough PPS officers around, who are actively managing the security of the area.
On digital security, I'm sure they can shut down our emails and keep our files safe, whatever device that they're on, but when the CSE found out that this was APT31.... These aren't basement goons. These are men and women for whom there is a $10-million reward by the U.S. State Department for information leading to their arrests. This is an active foreign intelligence unit that was used.
As soon as that was found out, there should have been a positive responsibility on the part of CSIS, the CSE and all of the alphabet soup agencies. Don't send me an email. Call my office. Contact me directly. Tell me I'm a target. Tell me why I'm a target, if they know, because I would like to know.
On the phishing stuff, I entirely agree with you. People go through that in their private life and businesses, but being targeted by a foreign intelligence service is new.
