Of course, one thing we've been concerned about on this committee is the data breach and Cambridge Analytica. There are third party entities that are global in nature and that are gathering huge amounts of data. This allows for very specific targeting of people who are on social media platforms, which has, as we've seen, influenced different campaigns.
Beyond the things you were talking about in terms of third parties and voter awareness, is there a role for Elections Canada in monitoring the kind of targeting that is happening on Facebook? For instance, let's say a third party entity that is not spending money—they may be a foreign source or they may be domestic—is targeting particular groups of voters for voter suppression. An ad goes to, for instance, young men between 20 and 25 who are of a particular racial minority. It tries to get people not to vote.
Is there a role for Elections Canada, or in the Elections Act, even legislatively, to be able to prevent that kind of voter suppression?
