@avnishnanda Prab's been busy! We got to know one another recently in Ottawa at the FIC. Glad to see you two are connected.

Foreign Interference Commission Interim Report: Foreign interference did impact the broader electoral ecosystem in Canada. It undermined the right of voters to have an electoral ecosystem free from coercion or covert influence. #PIFI
