I want to thank all of the witnesses for being here, and for your courage. I fully recognize how challenging it is for each and every one of you to be advocating in the spaces you're in, knowing that for what you say, you're going to receive a lot of headwind. You're obviously going to be heavily critiqued. In many cases, your safety is in danger, even if you're outside of your country of origin.
For Ms. Ressa, strength to you. I know you're fighting a very important fight, and this is extremely challenging, but we wish you strength and courage. I'd like to start my questions with you. I heard you on CBC's The House. It's a radio program that's often listened to in Canada by most of us here, and those who follow what happens in Parliament.
I want to allow you to elaborate some more on the technology, the nexus of technology with human rights and your comments on our moving from our natural state to an agitated state, and how that's employed by those who undermine human rights.
