You covered a lot of territory there. Maybe I'll start with the piece about CSE being asked by the Minister of Democratic Institutions to look at this issue around democratic institutions.
I'm thinking back and I'm looking to Scott. About a year ago, in about June 2017, CSE was asked by Minister Gould, the Minister of Democratic Institutions, to look at cyber-threats to Canadians' democratic institutions. For the first time in our history we actually produced a report that's available to this committee, if you haven't seen it, which looked at broad cyber-threats to democratic institutions.
We really looked at three different aspects of that. We looked at the electoral process per se, so how the electoral machine works. We also looked at cyber-threats to politicians and political parties, and we also looked at cyber-threats to the media. We came out with an assessment at that time, about a year ago.
The Minister of Democratic Institutions now is asking us to review our threat assessment in light of changes that have occurred over the past year. Even when we put out the initial report, we said that this would probably be an evergreened report based on new information and new threat information.
That's the kind of work we expect to be doing over the coming weeks, to review our threat assessment based on information and activities that have occurred over the past year. This is refreshing it.
