Justice committee  For people in public life, it's the degree to which you can be individually targeted. It's why social media companies are doing better—with the Twitter mute function, for example. On Facebook, if you run a campaign page, you can actually hide someone's comment. They still believe it's there.

Justice committee  I'm so sorry. That was me.

Justice committee  I think you have experts around the table who might in fact suggest improvements to the committee. I think a reinstatement is very logical, because basically we have an online environment that is a free-for-all, apart from what social media companies have been doing. It's very, very difficult for most Canadians and most elected officials, men or women, to pursue the only recourse available to them.

Justice committee  Thank you for your questions.

Justice committee  Very well, thank you.

Justice committee  Thank you, MP Barrett. It's good to see you in this setting. I usually see you in our home community. I think it's twofold. We have a culture issue. Until very recently, Equal Voice was part of a conversation where women used to accept that the price of being in politics, and being under-represented in politics, was that you would be the target of some online hating and bullying.
