Thank you for the question.
There are some challenges.
To your point, there is a potentially unintended consequence here. It could result in the government giving up some jurisdiction to provinces and territories in areas that are federally regulated. Obviously, because of that confusion, this could very much cause delays in implementation. I believe you mentioned this, but I think it would reduce or greatly limit the federal government's ability to determine the level of cybersecurity for federally regulated critical infrastructure.
I have a couple of considerations. One is that if a designated operator is also provincially regulated, the bill as currently written would only apply to those areas that are subject to the federal regulations.
As well, based on the government amendment that was provided earlier, there is a commitment within the bill to work collaboratively with provinces and territories. The provisions exist within the bill already to ensure that information can be shared.
