I believe the committee would have heard some of this testimony in the evidence presented by the panel last week on the range of considerations given to the intelligence that we put before it.
In terms of the intelligence originating from CSIS, for example, we endeavour to ensure that the intelligence we put forward to the panel is characterized so that the panel will have detail to help it make the determination based on the level of confidence it has in that piece of information or intelligence. That can range from qualifying whether it is a single piece of information that has been corroborated, new information or information that has come from one of our partners at this table or, as my colleagues have mentioned, has come from another intelligence agency that collaborates and is also monitoring—particularly in 2024, which was the year of elections around the world—interference that occurred in their countries. Sometimes, as a result of that, they are able to inform Canadian concerns as well.
