The first part of my answer is that National Defence—the government—has no choice but to work with the private sector, because most of the key assets are privately owned.
But the more important question is this. Outside of the requirement for the forces to be prepared to deal with cyber attacks upon our military capabilities, particularly in the field or at home—and I make a point of saying our military capability—and potentially the need to develop counters and also offensive cyber capabilities ourselves for overseas military operations, such as jamming, computer viruses, and similar things, I don't think in terms of the national issues involved here that cyber threats, particularly to our national critical infrastructure, are a job for the Department of National Defence.
I think the problem here is that Defence, in part because it's dealing with the cyber question for its own systems, has become the default actor to take the lead on this. There's a serious need by any government, in my view, to take a look at the particular place where this really belongs. In my view, it belongs in Public Safety, and legislation is required, as much as I understand the legislation, to enable them to take a greater functional lead role. The home of the RCMP and of CSIS is where those issues really lie.
