Mr. Chair, the task force is always prepared, since we have the experience of having now been stood up for three general elections. We have also been stood up since 2023 for 12 by-elections.
I think the power you see before you is the integrated approach of the national security community to executing our investigations under our individual mandates and, as my colleague Ms. Walshe mentioned, bringing that insight and analysis together to provide an informed view during a general election specifically to the panel and, during by-elections, to the deputy minister committee on intelligence action, which performs that role during the by-election functions.
