Thank you, Madam Chair.
Gentlemen, I would like to get your comments on the risk of the public digging their heels in if an alert about an interference activity is issued publicly by a source that is not necessarily regarded as credible, such as a partisan organization. Can you talk about that danger?
I would also like to know what you think about the idea that Michel Juneau-Katsuya brought to the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics: to create a kind of permanent independent bureau of investigation into foreign interference that would have to report to the House, a bit like the Office of the Auditor General, and would be non-partisan.
Could that body eventually be the one to alert the public when there is interference, to give the impression of neutrality and non-partisanship? Might that work to strengthen confidence in that tool?
