Public Safety committee  I don't think our report examined the foreign actor scenario from 2018 to 2020 in terms of the quantum of activity by China. I might ask, if I may, my research colleague Sean Jorgensen to respond to you, Ms. Stubbs, if that would be helpful. I think he might have a bit more detai

Public Safety committee  I would welcome the opportunity to do so, but beyond what's in the text, Ms. Stubbs, under the rubric of “Espionage”, it's very difficult for me to go into more detail. I think it's fair to say that increasingly our science and technology community in Canada, our academic commu

Public Safety committee  Thank you for the question, Mr. Lightbound. In the report, we tried to clearly convey what we heard from the security and intelligence community on this issue. What surprised us the most in 2020 was the increase in the activities of ideologically motivated violent extremists, o

Public Safety committee  I think I detected an oblique reference to Huawei in this question, but I want to be clear that the committee has not conducted a review of this issue. We have been briefed by CSE officials on the measures CSE has put in place to test Huawei products that are present in Canada's

Public Safety committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Honourable members of the committee, thank you very much for the invitation to appear again today at this committee. It's a great pleasure to speak with you about the 2020 annual report of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parli

Public Safety committee  No. We may have heard about it, but it's not something we examined in detail.

Public Safety committee  Any and all comments I can make around media and foreign interference in that sector are in the report. We've highlighted and illustrated as best as we can, Mr. Kurek, what we came across. Of course, once again, this report is the redacted version of a much longer report, backs

Public Safety committee  We've had a general acknowledgement, and we'll likely have more to say about this as we produce our 2020 annual report for the Prime Minister, something the committee is seized with. We were pleased to see that at least in two mandate letters, there was a reference to an NSICOP r

Public Safety committee  Thank you very much, Ms. Damoff, first of all, for your gracious remarks. It's been quite a journey for all of us on the committee, and we're really proud of the fact that we've managed to produce a series of non-partisan reports adopted by members of all parties in both Houses.

Public Safety committee  Mr. Harris, would you point me toward the right recommendation, the number?

Public Safety committee  I can't right now, off the top of my head. I'd have to find the operative passages in the report for you, which I'd be very pleased to do through the Chair, and send you a written response in terms of those details, because I'm sure they're there. That particular part of the re

Public Safety committee  That's an excellent question, Mr. Kurek. I don't recall, and I'll have to get back to you on whether we examined that in detail. I want to be very careful about what I do or don't say about that, given sources and methods. I'm glad you raised paragraph 290 around the very limite

Public Safety committee  If I understand what you're asking, you would like to know whether the minister is exercising his authority to issue directives.

Public Safety committee  Ms. Marcoux, would you mind answering that, please?

Public Safety committee  No, he did not. Thanks for the question. We've never spoken about the opposition day motion. I didn't participate in that debate. I'm hoping that the opposition day motion, though, will drive an awful lot of interest in the details laid out in this report, as you rightly point
