Thank you.
When I first read this, I had some concerns about the automatic listing of relatives, and relatives and acquaintances are loosely defined. Given some of the foreign interference that has happened, there could be unintended consequences if an individual who had nothing to do with any attempts of foreign influence was listed by a relative, so to speak. That was my initial concern.
However, perhaps I'll turn to the officials.
One, is that how you would read it? Two, do you have other concerns in regard to that connection?
I know Mr. MacGregor mentioned the Australian model, but there are differences, and I think it's around the defining of some of this. Again, I just have some concerns, especially when we heard testimony about individuals being intimidated. I don't think it's the intention of the bill to then pre-associate relatives just by nature of being related to another individual.
Could I have some clarification?
