Madam Chair, thank you for your invitation. Thanks as well to the members of the committee.
I have decided not to give an opening statement because, when I appeared before you in mid-April, I made some preliminary remarks and subsequent comments that gave you a clear idea of my views on the foreign interference file. Among other things, my opinion is that this is a much broader issue than the electoral one.
In fact, during my exchange in mid-April, I stressed that, in my view, one of the greater concerns remains surveillance, intimidation and harassment of diaspora. Interestingly, since my appearance, you've seen a lot of people from communities coming and talking about this, and we've also seen information suggesting that it also targeted a member of Parliament, which is a very important thing from a democratic standpoint.
I will leave it there. I will be happy to answer all of your questions.
I think that, as much as we want to go through it, we need to also focus on what needs to be done, strategy and actions. In this context, I hope that, at some point during the questions today, one member of whatever party—I don't mind—is going to ask me to talk about the Australian experience, because I have a lot that I could share on how you move from major concerns to action and strategy.
Thank you.
