If I could add to that, if it was a matter of an ongoing wrongdoing that was impacting the election at the time and we were receiving that information from the intelligence agencies, those intelligence agencies have the networks—whether it's the RCMP or Elections Canada—to take the appropriate law enforcement.... It would not be our place to say, “You should take this law enforcement step.” That would be their decision.
When we get briefings, the briefings can be on all manner of information. They could be about parties being targeted or candidates being targeted.
If there was a recommendation that some sort of threat mitigation, i.e. letting a candidate know that they were a target or something was happening in their campaign, we would not take unilateral steps on that. We would only take steps in conjunction with the appropriate intelligence authorities, because we're not in a position to decide the sensitivity of the information. Whether we burn a source or anything like that, they would need to guide us on that.
