Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I thank the witnesses, Mr. Marshall and Mr. DeLorey, for being with us.
From the beginning of our study on foreign interference in Canada's elections, I've been preoccupied by something: the process in place. Witnesses gave us details on it.
According to the process, members of the party have the required security clearance to receive information during the campaign. Since an election campaign runs for a very brief period, there's not a lot of time to react.
I'm wondering what a national campaign director can learn from security clearances. From the beginning of our study, many witnesses told us they could not talk about what they learned during security briefings.
Given your experience as a campaign director, how were those briefings useful to you?
