Canada-China Relations committee  What we talk about and point to in the report is that one prominent message board [Technical difficulty—Editor] alone, for example, on which Canadians are more much more active than American and British users... The point about this is that extremist dialogue is not necessarily

Canada-China Relations committee  Good evening, Ms. Normandin. I'm sorry to have lost you as a member of our committee. I'm also sorry that I'm not able to tell you what is happening in the Prime Minister's Office and in the Privy Council Office. Our committee is missing a few members. We have lost two members

Canada-China Relations committee  One of the challenges that we have identified in our analysis of foreign interference is that people in many areas of Canada are not allowed to see or receive classified briefings because they do not have the necessary secret or top secret security clearance. Today, we are seei

Canada-China Relations committee  Mr. Chair, I'd like to ask Mr. Jorgensen to answer that question. I think he has more to say on that.

Canada-China Relations committee  If we turn to the 2020 annual report, starting at paragraph 12, Canadians and members can see a description of the critical election incident public protocol that was put into place. It's a big name, but it basically creates a panel of five persons chaired by the Clerk of the Pri

Canada-China Relations committee  I think it's fair to say that in our 2019 foreign interference review, we indicated that we have a lot of work to do on improving co-operation between the federal, provincial and municipal orders of government on this front.

Canada-China Relations committee  The 2020 report sets out the risks inherent to Canada's critical infrastructure. It highlights what has taken place in other jurisdictions.

Canada-China Relations committee  In 2019, we clearly outlined the challenges for the federal government, including communicating risks to other levels of government in Canada and to the Canadian public. In response to the Judd report, we also made recommendations to improve the make-up and mandate of the group t

Canada-China Relations committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and honourable members of the committee. Thank you for your invitation for me to appear this evening. It is my pleasure to tell you about the work of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP). In English, it's

Public Safety committee  I wish I could be, Mr. Chair, more specific. We've been as specific as we possibly can be in the report in the Canadian context. I would, however, repeat that the evidence indicates that this is happening in the context of every political party in this country at all levels of g

Public Safety committee  Mr. Harris, could I ask Mr. Jorgensen to respond to you directly on that?

Public Safety committee  Mr. Van Popta, in the report, from paragraph 61 forward, for four or five paragraphs in a row, we describe that threat quite clearly. The committee was unanimous, as it is behind all these paragraphs, that it wanted to name specifically China, the Russian Federation, Iran and the

Public Safety committee  I don't think I'm in a position to give you any more detail than the fact that the report refers to Chinese and Russian actors.

Public Safety committee  I think that's a fair statement. Absolutely.
