Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being with us today.
In particular to my old professor, Professor Kayyem, it's good to see you. I'd like to, if I could, kick off with a couple of questions for you, please.
You talked about disruption and destruction, and the fact that we can handle disruption but destruction is a whole different ball game. My concern is that one challenge we've been dealing with is that when we look at the impact of Russian bots in terms of spreading misinformation.... First, they were spreading COVID misinformation and trying to sow misinformation with this idea of breaking down trust in public institutions. We saw a proximity of that narrative to far-right extremist views, and then, lo and behold, a connection to very pro-Russian, anti-Ukrainian messaging online.
I'm wondering whether or not this erosion in the public perception of policy starts to move into that realm of destruction in a way that we perhaps haven't thought of. I'd love your thoughts on that. In Canada, certainly, we are starting to see it. It's something that I think all of us here are quite concerned about.
