Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I have to say, I feel as though I've been living in a bit of a parallel universe when Mr. Bridgman states that he doesn't view this as an existential threat.
I wonder, Mr. Bridgman, whether through your work there was any study of the phenomenon that happened with the truckers' takeover of our capital, the shutdown of ports and bridges, and the civil unrest that was caused coming out of COVID, largely based on conspiracy theories regarding vaccines, misinformation and disinformation, both domestic and foreign. I wonder if you could speak to that. Did your studies take that into account?
I have to tell you that later on tonight I'm going to be working with a group that is dealing specifically with the Emergencies Act. The Emergencies Act was one of the most severe measures in our democracy, triggered by what I would say, after almost two years of reflection, was the high prevalence of misinformation and disinformation.
Can you comment on the work you're doing and whether you covered that local phenomenon, including many of the foreign actors who were involved in that campaign?
