Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions will be for Ms. Giles as well.
Most Canadians are familiar, at this point, with foreign interference in our elections. I sit on the human rights subcommittee of the foreign affairs committee. We've been studying transnational repression, whereby, as you know, foreign governments target people—often from their own diaspora communities, but sometimes Canadians who support those diaspora communities and others—both online and in other places.
You were talking about the additional threats we are facing in terms of volume, nature and velocity, and you also talked a lot about the technical implications. I want to apply that to our discussions on Bill C-22. Issues around end-to-end encryption have come to this committee in relation to the bill, and I'd like to get your thoughts on this. Is it fair to say that Canadians who are the subjects of transnational repression in Canada are very dependent on communication mechanisms that have strong end-to-end encryption?
