We are back.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on September 19, 2024, the committee resumes its study on Russian interference and disinformation campaigns in Canada.
I'd now like to welcome our witnesses today.
Rachel Gilmore is an independent journalist. Pierre Jolicoeur is a professor of political science and dean of the faculty of social sciences and humanities at the Royal Military College of Canada. Finally, we have Pekka Kallioniemi, a researcher with the International Centre for Defence and Security.
Just for the sake of the committee, I know that Ms. Gilmore has a hard stop at 1:30, and I understand that it's very late for Mr. Kallioniemi, so we will try to wrap up this meeting earlier. Thank you so much for appearing.
Now I give the floor to Ms. Gilmore for an opening statement of up to five minutes.
