I always remind myself that in any kind of emergency, the first response is always the public. The more information we can provide to the public about potential threats and risks, I think the better Canadians can respond to protect their interests.
For example, I think we can help Canadians to be alert to the possible impact of misinformation and disinformation, so they can perhaps make better-informed decisions and not be inappropriately influenced by information that is intended to cause them to react in a certain way. I think we have a responsibility to do that.
Let's also acknowledge, Mr. McKinnon, that Canadians are feeling the impact of the sanctions on Russia. We're seeing it at the gas pumps, and our farmers are experiencing it in the acquisition of the fertilizer they need. We're seeing real impacts from the sanctions and from the conflict in Ukraine.
Perhaps no one is experiencing the impacts of that more than Ukrainian Canadians here in this country.
We all have to remain alert and vigilant and supportive of those who are being impacted in a particularly difficult way by all of the outcomes of the invasion of Ukraine.
