Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you so much, Madam Chair. I'm going to come back to Mr. Elcock. You just answered my colleague's previous question. You said that it needs to be broader, that the conversation you're seeing so far in the public sphere is too narrow and that the foreign agent registry is n

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. I think that brings us back to a really important point, which is that diaspora communities have been coming forward for a very long time and have been talking about their concerns, but are not feeling they are really getting the response they require. When you discu

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you for that. When you talk about a culture of concern, how do we create that? What's your opinion on that?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you for that. The current CSIS legislation says very clearly that if an MP is targeted, it's really up to the minister to decide what information is given to members of Parliament. Of course, we know there has been a change to that process, through a ministerial directiv

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Well, another discussion we've had here is around education and having broader education for Canadians on the whole, so they better understand what foreign interference could look like and at least have that critical thought. You talked about building a culture of concern. Do

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Chair. Of course I thank the witnesses for being here. I'm going to start by asking a question or two to Mr. Elcock. Thank you again for being here. We've heard a lot of testimony over the last several months and we also have heard very clearly from Canadians that

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I have the last question for you today, and again, thank you so much for being here. Quickly, you talked about your security department. Here, of course, we have similarly the Sergeant-at-Arms. One of the changes we have made concerning foreign interference—or that is in the pro

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you for that. I only have a few seconds, so this is my last quick question. I know that here, of course, when an MP is elected, they get training on different aspects of being a parliamentarian. I'm just wondering if there is any expansion of training, through the House,

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you so much, Chair. I thank the witness for being here with us today. Thank you for having this discussion about a challenge for many different levels of other governments across the planet that are looking at this new view. Of course, you in your role have to figure out

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm going to come back to Mr. Juneau-Katsuya. I'm curious. When you were here back in May, you talked about the chain of command being a roadblock and how CSIS and RCMP reporting goes directly to the PM. Often, that's where the roadblock is. I think of

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Okay. The minister spoke earlier today about the ministerial directive that just has opened the doors to share information. He seems to think that this is the solution. I think the solution is legislation. I'm wondering about your thoughts on that.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. Mr. Juneau-Katsuya, I do have a question for you. You have been to the committee—on May 11—and you talked about one of the biggest gaps of course being the nomination process. We know that every party has its own process of how they do nominations. When we look at thi

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you so much, Chair. I thank both of the witnesses for being here today. One of the questions that I continue to pursue is the need to see legislation updated. I'm going to ask both the witnesses this question. I'll start off with you, Mr. Jean, because I'll be quoting
