Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here, Minister.
Canadians will no doubt be very concerned by what we have heard about the digital threats Facebook generates. What we heard during the latest election in Unites States could certainly also happen in Canada.
It is difficult to deal with or report this infamous advertising and fake news published on Facebook, and it takes so much time. A new advertisement on Facebook can make the headlines for 24 or 48 hours, even if it is completely false, regardless of the party being attacked. Afterwards, it will be declared as false, but the news has already spread throughout the public or has already swept its way into Canadians' minds. If that happens repeatedly, we may well have a task force saying that it is wrong to do that, but it will not be enough.
How will it be publicly announced that those are fake news or false allegations in the media, such as Facebook?
