Mr. Speaker, in regard to the fact that, unfortunately, foreign interference is a problem that some foreign state actors have taken to try to undermine our democracy, it is not new. That is precisely why we have taken this matter so seriously. It is precisely why we have initiated a number of steps to strengthen our democracy. We have all agreed to the inquiry, and we want to allow that work to continue so Canadians have a full picture of the issues around foreign interference.
