Mr. Juneau, I'd like to ask you a couple of quick questions with a bit of a preamble. You mentioned the architecture of the system and a coordination role. Mr. Johnston, in his report, talks about shortcomings in the way intelligence is communicated and processed.
When we had Jenni Byrne come to PROC, despite there being eight CSIS reports identifying foreign interference, she said she wasn't really briefed on it and it basically wasn't a concern during the Harper era. We know that Mr. Fadden in 2010 passed information on to the then national security and intelligence adviser with regard to provincial- and municipal-level foreign interference. Prime Minister Harper said he was unaware of it.
Is it possible that these shortcomings in the intelligence system, in the way that communication is relayed up and down, are long-standing problems that have persisted for quite some time?
