Thank you, Chair.
I thank both the witnesses for being here today to participate in this study and for their interesting testimony.
I'm going to start with Ms. Marineau first.
One of the challenges as we address the issue of foreign interference in elections is how it's constantly changing. It's hard to figure out the best way to respond when every response has to mitigate the challenges that we're faced with.
When you were testifying before us, you talked about foreign interference needing to be addressed collectively, not just by the government but by all areas that are impacted. I have a two-piece question.
One is that we are hearing from multiple people that legislation is really the tool that we need to be looking at. When you look at foreign interference and disinformation, what are the holes in our legislation that we need to fill?
The second part of that question is that I've also heard, and I think this is an interesting idea, that the focus is tending to be right on the election as opposed to looking at elections and then in between elections and how we address information so that we're not not addressing misinformation and then suddenly right before and during the election we're panicking about it without a real resolution.
I'm just wondering if you could answer that very simple question.
