I think these committees have to be very careful about looking at the evidence that's being presented.
In December 2023, I covered a Senate fisheries committee meeting, and I watched a so-called disinformation expert who works for the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, which Mr. Alexander works for, and this individual made a link between the Russians and Vladimir Putin and Ryan Reynolds, the Canadian actor. Putin and the Russians have put out disinformation about the Canadian seal hunt. Ryan Reynolds is an animal activist, and he has put out a documentary about the Canadian seal hunt, which wasn't complimentary. I watched this committee as this disinformation expert linked Ryan Reynolds and Putin together.
I came away from that.... Words, as a committee member has mentioned, are very important. If Ryan Reynolds can be linked to the Russians and Russian disinformation, then no Canadian will be safe from any such smears.
