Mr. Speaker, I am regularly briefed by intelligence officials and security experts on threats to Canada and Canadians. Whether it be cyber-threats, whether it be interference with Canadian diaspora communities, whether it be the use of online misinformation or disinformation, there is a range of threats out there that Canadians and Canadian security agencies continue to be vigilant against. We will always be there to protect Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, the member from the Bloc Québécois will say just about anything. The reality is that we always take seriously the importance of protecting Canadians from existing interference by different countries. Everyone knows that. However, we can also confirm that in all the security briefings I have had with our intelligence experts and those who monitor our elections, the integrity of our elections has never been an issue.

For the third time today, Mr. Speaker, in all the extensive security briefings I get, there was never any information given to me on candidates receiving money from China, so no. The reality is the integrity of our elections was not compromised. People do not have to take my word for it. They can look at the independent panel we appointed to look at just that, or the Elections Canada officer who said just yesterday that our elections were not compromised.
