Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today and for your very important testimony.
Building on some of the comments my honourable colleague made, I don't think it's about which political party has or has not done anything maliciously. When we're talking about foreign interference, it's about who is vulnerable to it. The bots example that Mr. Barrett raised is a prime example of how a political party in Canada is vulnerable to being used by Russian bots in order to disrupt democracy in Canada.
I want to question you, Professor Caulfield.
You talked specifically about what tools we can use to prevent that kind of interference within our democratic systems. You talked about teaching, but I also want to talk about accountability.
When we're talking about how to prevent this from happening, other than through teaching and raising awareness, how do we build accountability within political parties to ensure that, for example, the Leader of the Opposition is not susceptible to bots taking over his political campaign? How do we build on that to ensure the Canadian democratic system is protected?
