Thank you, Madam Chair.
The committee has been studying Chinese interference since November, Mr. Chong. A number of surveys show that one in five Canadians does not trust the results of elections in Canada. The House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs had a lot of work to do.
Today, we find out that the public safety minister, Mr. Mendicino, issued a new directive to CSIS, instructing the intelligence service to inform him of any threats to elected officials or Parliament. CSIS is also going to have to inform parliamentarians of threats against them, whenever possible. Much of that information flows only one way.
Fifty times now, we have heard that something has to be done, that bold action is needed and so on. There have been baby steps.
Unfortunately, Mr. Chong, you're helping to change and preserve the integrity of our democracy.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.
