I asked the question because I think it's quite important to demystify some of the ideas around what actually constitutes an offensive cyber capability. This is obviously a new means of ensuring national security and I think there are some myths built up around it.
For instance, this committee has heard testimony from organizations such as OpenMedia, the BC Civil Liberties Association, with the former implying quite directly that this committee and Canadians in general ought be on the watch, because the CSE could use this offensive cyber capability to undermine the democratic process of other states. This is not the intent here, correct?
