Thank you. As someone who used to sit on NSICOP, I went through a similar process and understand that. However, part of that is also remembering what is classified and not classified, and you have to be extremely careful. That's why the national security community determines an entire process when speaking in a public forum.
Is this precisely why the critical election incident public protocol is in place? Is it to have the knowledge of that national security community, which can take the full picture of intelligence and provide it to the incident public protocol, which is non-partisan? Then they can properly make a determination on what constitutes the threshold to speak to Canadians during an election, knowing that they don't want to tip the scales in any fashion or even allude to that. Is having a non-partisan body with access to that full picture of intelligence why that's so important during the election process?
