Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to turn to you again, Professor Turnbull.
In your opening statement, you said that the issue of interference was not new, but had taken new forms over time. We can imagine that between elections, when a term is ordinarily four years, it is highly likely that it will evolve considerably.
I would like to hear your opinion about the importance of having a body that would be responsible for combatting interference outside election periods.
In addition, another witness recommended that we establish an independent bureau of investigation, separate from CSIS and the RCMP, that would be impartial and would report directly to the House, somewhat like the Office of the Auditor General.
What do you think about that kind of tool?
