There are two parts to my answer. Was my minister, Mr. Toews, aware of our general concerns about foreign interference? Yes. Was he aware of the two specific cases that are the object of your attention? No.
As I said in my opening remarks, the reason we did not inform him was because we had not formed the final view that we wanted to go forward and inform the government. We had some further analysis to do. And as is usual in cases of this nature, we consult interdepartmentally before we move files forward with ministers.
