Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm glad to hear the broad support for this. I think Madam O'Rourke summed it up really well. I think that we can study, in a non-partisan way, things that we all agree need to be addressed. I appreciate her comments.
I did want to just mention that Mr. Bains raised an excellent point about the foreign aspect of this. It's a good point that's not listed explicitly, but I think we can have a friendly understanding that if there are witnesses who would clearly fall under the area of this study, I would be happy to include them and to see recommendations included on this, because that's an excellent point.
The last thing is more just a friendly public service announcement for our colleagues. I meant to mention this earlier. My constituency office recently got a call that showed “RBC Banking” as the caller ID, and it was not, in fact, RBC banking. That inspired some of this as well, in that it's to call on the telecommunications companies to explain what they can do to prevent that.
Thankfully, my staff were quite savvy. Their spidey senses tuned in that there was something going on, but they said that it was quite convincing otherwise.
Be forewarned at your offices. They're unfortunately not immune to this either.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate everyone's helpful comments on this.
