Great. Thank you, Mr. Chair
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here. It's appreciated that you have taken time out of your schedule, especially when we're dealing with something so important.
I'm going to focus my time on Mr. Kolga. I've reviewed your testimony.
I'm not sure whether our two witnesses were online for the last round. Can you just give me a thumbs-up or thumbs-down for yes or no? No, you were not. Okay. I apologize.
I'm going to cover some ground that I covered during the last round.
Mr. Kolga, I'm going to present a few things that I think are probably fairly straightforward. I've reviewed your prior testimony and I've reviewed the testimony of a former colleague of ours, Kenny Chiu, on foreign interference. To me, that is one of the central issues of misinformation and disinformation.
Obviously, it's my view—and I hope you will agree, Mr. Kolga—that the government has what we would say in law is an obligation to prevent electoral interference. That obligation starts from the bottom, at Elections Canada and any other enforcement agencies, and goes straight to the top to the Prime Minister.
We have agreement on that, I take it.
