Thank you, Chair. I appreciate it.
Thank you to both of the witnesses for being here today.
Professor Loewen, I'm going to start my questions with you.
Ultimately, we're talking about protecting democracy and our elections, which is something that's very important. I know that you've done work as a professor in the department of government at Cornell. You've also done work with the Canadian election misinformation project.
I wonder if you can expand on how AI can be weaponized to distort democratic discourse. Do you believe that Canada's current legal framework is sufficient to address the risks posed by AI-generated disinformation and misinformation during elections? What specific reforms would you have in mind?
