Mr. Chair, I do not remember the details of my conversation with the advisor. In essence, I told her that CSIS was dealing with some cases of foreign interference, that I thought provincial politicians might be involved and that we were about to wrap up matters.
Since it did not concern federal authorities, I was not sure how to proceed. I asked her to think about the issue and to let me know what the procedure would be if, after closing our files, the government decided to go forward with the matter.
I do not remember the exact date, but it must have been at the beginning of this year.
