Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for being with us today.
Mr. Perrault, I would like to thank you for saying in your testimony that Elections Canada had not experienced any breaches to its IT infrastructure or interference with its electoral operations during the past two general elections.
It's important to highlight that, because there were a lot of conversations and reports on whether or not there was interference in the last two elections. I want to thank you.
I understand, Madam Simard, that you also mentioned there was nothing in the last two elections, in terms of foreign interference.
One area I'd like to touch on is the pre-election period. We hear a lot about initiatives happening and efforts made during an electoral period.
Could you elaborate on some of the work you're doing in a pre-election period, in terms of making sure our elections are safe?
