Mr. Speaker, CSIS has a mandate to investigate threats to Canada, and this includes potential long-term threats to our national interest and to Canada's prosperity.
As the director of CSIS pointed out, foreign interference and espionage pose a serious threat to our national interest and our prosperity.
Working closely with our Canadian and international partners, our security agencies continuously monitor threats to national security and take the necessary measures to protect Canadians and safeguard their rights and freedoms.
