Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon to my colleagues.
Good afternoon, Ms. Patell. Thank you for being here.
Let me start with a specific case. Three weeks ago, my assistant Marc‑André saw a fake YouTube ad in which a fake Mark Carney was telling people to make investments. The ad was similar to the one that led to a class action lawsuit a year ago. We are still seeing fake ads like this a year later.
My assistant took a screenshot and sent it to YouTube to tell them to be careful, that it was a fraudulent ad that should be taken down. He received no acknowledgement or feedback from YouTube, and the fraudulent advertising continued for days. Is that what you call being proactive against fraudulent advertising?
