Thank you, Chair.
I thank our witnesses for being here today to testify.
This is a very complex issue. I appreciate both witnesses for acknowledging how complex this is, and the fact that there needs to be a lot of addressing of issues, both within this atmosphere and in the general public.
Something that came up earlier in the testimony today was around building literacy for Canadians, around addressing these issues and building that literacy so that as we're going down this path of really understanding what's happening in terms of foreign interference from multiple countries, we're acknowledging that it's an ever-changing and evolving reality that we have to collectively respond to in a meaningful way.
Could you both share your thoughts on the importance of building that literacy for Canadians and how that would support national security in the long term?
I will start with Mr. German, and then go to Ms. McCuaig-Johnston.
