The CSIS Act provides a number of tools for CSIS to investigate foreign interference activities, including when it comes to diplomats posted here in Canada. As an intelligence service, our professionals are looking at the best way possible to get intelligence, using all the techniques that are available to it. When we do face questions or situations where there's a specific threat activity, we also use, have used and will continue to use our threat reduction measures mandate to engage in those activities.
We will often work with partners; we will not work in isolation. These issues are very complex, and you do not want to take an action and have unintended consequences, so we work in partnerships. In this case, when it comes to diplomats, we'd likely be working with Global Affairs Canada, GAC, to do so.
I can assure the committee, as I said in my opening remarks, that CSIS and our partners at this table take any allegations of foreign interference extremely seriously. We investigate these allegations, and we use all the tools at our disposal to try to better understand and characterize these activities and reduce the threat where possible.
