Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, witnesses.
I know that time is short, so let me encourage you both to provide in writing to the committee some fuller recommendations, particularly if you could help us define transnational repression from your perspective, whether it's digital, or, as Ms. Teich described, quite literal, and the tools and recommendations you would have for how the Government of Canada can work toward curbing the threat of transnational repression in third countries.
Let me start with you, Ms. Teich, friend and former colleague. It's good to see you.
Marcus Kolga, our former colleague at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, has proposed creating an international coalition of nations affected by transnational repression, many of which I think you covered, potentially within the G7 or NATO.
Can I ask you to expand upon this a little bit and provide to the committee and our colleagues here what a coalition could look like and how member nations might be best able to build a unified response to counter the transnational repression posed by tyrants and rivals who are clearly working with each other and using very similar tools.
