Okay.

I'm sorry. You're still stuck with me.

I'll go back to the algorithm you mentioned. To my understanding, TikTok Canada's algorithm would be no different from the algorithm being used by TikTok in the United States and in other countries, at least according to what I've heard from TikTok. One of the issues related to what I understand has happened in TikTok is that considerable misinformation has been floated for the U.S. elections in 2016, 2020 and possibly 2024 through the TikTok platform.

Has CSIS looked at what we would need to do to protect ourselves in the Canadian election that we expect to have next year, in 2025?
