Thank you for the question.
I made recommendations on that specific topic before the election in the context of the Hogue commission. I do believe there are adjustments that are warranted in the Canada Elections Act. For example, the impersonation rules contemplate a situation where someone presents themselves as somebody else but not where they present somebody else in a different context or saying or doing things they haven't done. There are adjustments that are required to deal with that. I do believe labelling of all synthetic content would provide greater transparency. That's also a recommendation I had.
We did not experience, thankfully, significant amounts of disinformation using AI in this election. My understanding is that it may have been used more to promote content than to manipulate it. We did see, for example, a fake Le Journal de Montréal article saying that for those over 60, Elections Canada had moved the polling day to the Tuesday. That wasn't AI, but it was made to look like.... You don't need AI to do that. Thankfully, social media platforms were very quick to respond and pull that content down. I don't believe it had any impact whatsoever.
