I believe you are correct in that there is a threat when we are talking about Russian aggression and specifically hybrid warfare. You're not talking about a threat to Ukraine itself but also to European and global stability and security here in the west. The key example is that, allegedly, the Russians got involved in the U.S. presidential elections. If they can do that, they can probably tell you they can get involved in other aspects as well. Talking to my American colleagues and folks on the ground in Ukraine—and I'm there often—it's amazing to see the extent of hybrid warfare. They are providing agents of influence, spending a lot of money to destabilize the situation among various communities there. They are engaging in cyberwarfare as you said, and so, absolutely, I don't believe you're doing enough here. I don't believe we are protected here. Russian propaganda is very prevalent in Canada. RT, Russia Today television, is spreading a lot of propaganda. At the same time, I'm certain that a Russian agent would influence and secure the services of working in Canada as well, and I'm pretty sure they are working in the cybersecurity area too, so we absolutely need to do more, not less.
