Madam Chair, I would say several things.
One is that the whole review and the work that you're engaged in is to build trust in our democracy and reinforce it when it is in peril by foreign interference.
In the quote you just read, we continued on to say that, in our review, we found very serious shortcomings in our systems of dealing with foreign interference, which require very substantial review and improvement, and the responsibilities of this committee and other agencies of Parliament are to do exactly that.
Foreign interference has been growing like this, and our ability to adapt has been growing like that. We have to close that gap, but it's the work of Parliament to get at the facts and to come up with recommendations and improvements, using the precedents from other jurisdictions, especially the Five Eyes, which have had to deal with this for longer periods of time, with more difficult threats in their case, which are now very much present in our home. Our job is to look forward and to determine how we can do a much better job of putting together a system that deals with foreign interference in a constructive and very protective way for Canadian interests.
