Procedure and House Affairs committee  Absolutely. It's certainly my understanding that security partners are doing that. Beyond that, in terms of information on the voting process going beyond French and English, it's something I'll be looking into.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, some international engagements do take place. Meetings have happened in Europe. Every jurisdiction is dealing with that issue. We have contacts, and we do some exchanges. I've met personally with colleagues and counterparts in the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand. That is al

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We have some contact with the U.S., but our environment is quite different from theirs. They have a very unique decentralized structure, whereby, if I'm not mistaken, 60% of the districts or jurisdictions that serve electors in the U.S. are less than 5,000. It's a constellation o

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No, we are working with them to prepare for the next election. We've been getting a lot of support from the Communications Security Establishment to make sure that our new systems are secure. A lot of the investments I'm talking about are based on the need to improve our cybers
