Mr. Speaker, my colleague is absolutely right. The worst thing that can happen after a contest is for someone to say cheating was involved, so having robust legislation in place to make sure that elections are as fair as possible and that those who attempt to interfere, to obstruct and to do things that might be illegal are properly taken care of is absolutely critical in democracy, especially in the world we live in today. It is so easy for misinformation to get around, so being able to have all those tools, many of which I listed in my speech today, like the increased penalties and increased access to information to be able to go after possible actors, is extremely important.
