A number of my agencies and departments, in particular CSIS, are seized with this. As part of the national security establishment, we monitor very carefully the hostile activities of a number of different state actors. I would also direct you, Gary, to a report that was issued earlier by NSICOP, a committee of parliamentarians that also identifies the growing risk of the activities of certain countries. For example, NSICOP did point specifically to the activities of the Government of China as an example of a state actor whose actions that can be contrary to the interest of Canadians.
I want to be very clear, Gary, that we remain vigilant and are taking the steps necessary to protect Canadians' interest against undue influence and intimidation of Canadians at home and abroad. We recognize that activities are undertaken by a number of state actors contrary to Canada's interests with respect to the misappropriation of intellectual property and influencing various economic decisions. I want to assure you and this committee that we remain vigilant and that we are very thoughtful and mindful of our responsibilities to protect Canadian interests.
I would leave it at that. I don't know whether the director wants to add further to it. I think in fairness, we can't and shouldn't get into specifics of that work, but I believe Canadians need to be reassured that we remain vigilant and are prepared to act to protect their interests.
