No, I don't believe that at all. On the contrary, I think it's even more important that we listen to the experts and take whatever steps are necessary to strengthen our democratic institutions.
You asked several questions during your intervention, Mr. Berthold. You asked me why this information was made public. I can't answer that specific question. Obviously, I hope you're not claiming that it was I who gave this information to the Globe and Mail.
Next, you asked why it had taken so long to understand the precise circumstances in relation to Mr. Chong. That's an excellent question. It's one that the Prime Minister, Mr. Mendicino and I have asked of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, and we will continue to make sure that it doesn't happen again in the future.
