"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7416895\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Thank you.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7416896\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to thank all of our witnesses here today. It's always important for us to talk about our election process and what we're doing to make sure we're protecting it from foreign threats.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7416897\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the biggest hurdles is one that all of us as elected officials, and those in trusted positions such as yours, know, and that is getting people to trust the system. That's becoming increasingly hard with so much misinformation. We've seen recently, of course, what happened in the U.S., which was really a deliberate attempt to undermine the electoral system and make something that was concrete seem like it wasn't. That was very concerning. I know all of us are watching that and watching the outcomes of what happens when foreign entities abuse misinformation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7416898\" data-originallang=\"en\">To both of you, through the chair, how can we ensure that accurate, reliable information is shared here in Canada so that misinformation isn't taken advantage of by foreign entities? </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7416895\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Merci.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7416896\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 remercier tous nos t\u00e9moins d'aujourd'hui. Il est toujours important pour nous de parler de notre processus du vote et de ce que nous faisons pour nous assurer de le prot\u00e9ger contre les menaces \u00e9trang\u00e8res.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7416897\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous tous qui sommes \u00e9lus, et ceux comme vous qui occupent des postes de confiance, savons que l'un des principaux obstacles est d'amener les gens \u00e0 faire confiance au syst\u00e8me. Cela devient de plus en plus difficile avec autant de d\u00e9sinformation. Nous avons vu r\u00e9cemment, bien s\u00fbr, ce qui s'est pass\u00e9 aux \u00c9tats-Unis et qui \u00e9tait en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 une tentative d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9e de miner le syst\u00e8me \u00e9lectoral et de donner l'impression que quelque chose de concret ne l'\u00e9tait pas. C'\u00e9tait tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9occupant. Je sais que nous surveillons tous ce qui se passe lorsque des entit\u00e9s \u00e9trang\u00e8res abusent de la d\u00e9sinformation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7416898\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question s'adresse \u00e0 vous deux, par l'entremise de la pr\u00e9sidente. Comment pouvons-nous nous assurer que des renseignements exacts et fiables sont communiqu\u00e9s ici au Canada afin que des entit\u00e9s \u00e9trang\u00e8res n'utilisent pas la d\u00e9sinformation \u00e0 leur avantage? </p>"
