There are a couple of quick things.... Just on your first point of how this is not a new problem, I believe it was in the CSIS documents that were tabled sometime ahead of my appearance, in the last number of days. They talk about how CSIS briefed us in 2015, when we first got into government. This is not new to our government, but as I said in the opening statement, it has been evolving, and this government has taken more steps than anyone has before.
Actually, one of the steps—you mentioned a number of them there—that involves our allies is the rapid response mechanism. Canada played a leadership role there, because it was at the G7 meeting in Charlevoix that it came about, and some additional countries have joined, beyond the G7, to be part of that work. Canada has been leading on this in the world.
To your point of the multipronged nature of this, it's why, in 2019—I mentioned this in my opening statement as well—there was a kind of pan-governmental, whole-of-government plan that was introduced to protect democracy, because it has to take into account misinformation and disinformation as well, so the Department of Canadian Heritage is involved. Many different departments and agencies throughout government have to be thinking about these things. They are and have been for a number of years now, so there's obviously still more work to do.
