Thank you very much, Chair.
First of all, I would say this in response to Mr. Hawn. He is concerned about the circus effect of this. He also mentioned that Canada is a role model for elections. It is that because when there is any hint of anything untoward, Canadians do react the way they do and they do create a political circus to ensure that it gets looked at. I would say to him, with great respect, that's why we're a model.
Mr. Mayrand, may I ask you to characterize, if you can, how seriously you would take proof, if there were proof, that there was an organized effort by someone to misrepresent themselves as Elections Canada during the election? How seriously would you take that? How serious an attack on our democracy is that, or is it really not a big deal and we really ought not to get upset about it?
