Mr. Patrick Brown at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

I'll share a few comments.

First of all, I'm not under any NDA that prohibits me from speaking. I certainly understand my obligations here today.

I believe a level of foreign intervention has been around for a long time. I don't believe that foreign intervention altered the outcome of the 2022 Conservative leadership race. If you look at past leadership races and the number of memberships sold to be successful, with this leadership race, the level of memberships sold was incomprehensible compared to any other time in modern history. I think that's what dictated the results, not foreign intervention.
