Ms. Chen, I'll underline again that this is a committee of the Parliament of Canada. These institutions are incredibly old, ancient, and protect our democracy. You've been summoned here today to answer questions about an incredibly important issue, to say the least. In fact, this committee has identified, over a number of months and years, that Russian misinformation and disinformation present incredible threats to the west. The purpose of that propaganda is to sow division in this country and to undermine our own interests—to say nothing about the Ukrainian individuals who fled the war in Ukraine and came to Canada for safety. There are thousands of them in Manitoba. Spreading Russian propaganda in Canada—and withholding that it was, in fact, Russian propaganda—has had an impact on those individuals and Canada at large.
Do you have any comment about the impact of the information Tenet Media shared on Ukrainian Canadians, and on Ukrainians who have fled Ukraine and come to Canada? Do you have any thoughts about how your alleged efforts have impacted those individuals?
