Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being with us today.
You have become a key player in the public debate. Indeed, you have a considerable influence on millions of people. As the saying goes, “With great power comes great responsibility”. From our point of view, you can, but more importantly, you must do better in many ways.
I'm going to ask you some very specific questions and ask you to keep your answers fairly short. Facebook spokesperson Meg Sinclair told the Toronto Star that it is Facebook's standard practice to seek our political analysts with government experience.
Mr. Chan, since you've been working for Facebook, have you or anyone in your organization asked other officials or other federal government departments to circulate a job posting for Facebook? If so, could you tell me which department and which position?
