I'll be splitting my time with Mr. Berthold.
Ms. Thomas, you said in answer to a question posed by Mr. Julian that you would not be commenting on what you claimed were reports of information that were inappropriately obtained. I would remind you of section 15 of the Security of Information Act, which provides that:
15 (1) No person is guilty of an offence under section 13 or 14 if the person establishes that he or she acted in the public interest.
Are you saying that it was not in the public interest for the public to know about Beijing's interference in our elections in 2019 and 2021? Is that what you are telling this committee?
