Mr. Chair, in fact, we are very grateful for the media being along with us on that journey and sharing the information verbally, as I said earlier, and pointing regularly and often to the tools that we were publishing and putting before Canadians during the course of the election.
The purpose of doing so was to ensure that Canadians had the tools they needed to navigate the information ecosystem in particular, and we received quite positive feedback, perhaps unusually, from the media in offering those briefings.
I will also say that it was one of the elements for which the security-cleared members of each party commended us, because it allowed a frequent engagement with Canadians and also allowed campaigns on the ground that were supporting individual candidates to understand how things were shifting and to be alerted on issues. It also encouraged reporting, both from Canadians and from members of the campaigns, including volunteers.
