Mr. Chair, since 2023, we have been mandated to stand up for every by-election. A key difference to understand is that during a by-election, we're not in a caretaker period. That means the panel is not stood up to be able to receive the information from the SITE task force. Instead, it is considered in the same tempo and at the same depth by a deputy ministerial committee for intelligence and action. It is that body that then responds to the task force members in terms of the actions they would like us to take on what we've observed.
All of those by-elections are subject to the same transparency as the general election in terms of the fact that we do publish—and you can find them on PCO's website for SITE—the after-action reports for each of those 12 by-elections. They make clear where we saw or didn't see foreign interference.
To the member's point and to Ms. Walshe's comment, there is, for certain threat actors, a baseline of foreign interference threats, for example, that takes place all of the time. While elections are an opportunity to conduct focused foreign interference, threats to democratic societies, including Canada, are a standard operating procedure for certain threat actors.
