Procedure and House Affairs committee  It varies, as you say, depending on events. Obviously a lot more started coming in around the time of the balloons, for example. Certainly, as has been publicly spoken about before, in the lead-up to and of course following the invasion of Ukraine, all kinds of intelligence came

Procedure and House Affairs committee  This is why there's a question around whether I'm the right person to be appearing here. As I said, I'm going to do my best. I apologize for answering in English, but I just want to make sure that I'm getting it right and I can speak faster. It's largely run through the NSIA. T

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I want to clarify. The member was asserting a number of things about what I do, and I want to go back to what I said in my opening statement about my role. The Privy Council Office does not report to me. I manage the Prime Minister's Office. I do, however, work very closely wit

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Intelligence comes to us in many different forms from many different parts of the government, though it all ultimately funnels through the Privy Council Office and the NSIA in terms of what comes directly to us. They bring together so many different pa

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I can't speak specifically to what was discussed in briefings over the course of those months and whether it was related to what was in the reporting.

However, what I can remind the members of is what the NSIA said when she was here, actually, on March 1 at this very

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'm sorry. You might have to clarify the question.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I can't speak to the reporting of Global News, but I can speak to my experience, which is that there have been a lot of conversations over many years. It's why all the different mechanisms that I outlined were put in place leading into the 2019 election and the 2021 election. The

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I can't speak to that.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'm not sure what document you're referencing. If you can give me some information, I probably still won't be able to confirm whether or not it was something I saw, but I'd be happy to try.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I believe you received from the national security and intelligence adviser and from the Privy Council Office a listing of briefings that the Prime Minister has received on this subject.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I think the answer may have been given in the question, which is that the preamble in the memo talks about how there are all kinds of conversations that go on about some of these topics that can't all be captured in terms of formal briefings. You have the list of formal briefings

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I thought I'd start by explaining my role and how I receive intelligence. My job is to advise the Prime Minister and manage the Prime Minister's Office. A key part of my role is ensuring he receives advice and information from all parts of government so
