One of the gaps that we and others had noted was the fact that most of the protections, which are very strong protections for our electoral system, were really only in place for the duration of an election. This is one of the recommendations that was made in the context of the public inquiry on foreign interference. It was that this kind of protection against, for example, foreign influence of voters or misleading publications, etc., really needed to be in place at all times. This is one of the gaps that we're closing with the measures that are in this bill. We know that, as was mentioned, threats to our electoral system don't just happen during the electoral period, so this is quite important.
In terms of the privacy of information and, in particular, voter lists, we did take note of the Chief Electoral Officer's recommendation that there was a vulnerability with respect to the preliminary list of electors, so the bill targets a measure there as well, which we've already discussed, with respect to ensuring that the list in particular does not fall into the hands of an entity that does not intend to endorse a candidate but is looking for access to personal information. Those are some of the examples of the gaps that the bill proposes to close.
