Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I'd like to thank our witnesses for joining us today. Even though you are all undoubtedly very busy, you took the time to come and speak to us about a very important issue. We really appreciate it.
Now, I'd like to ask the Canada Revenue Agency officials a question.
In your presentation, you indicated that a number of data breaches had occurred. In response to a written question from a colleague of mine, within your department, you identified 2,983 occurrences of data breach or loss affecting 2,249 individuals. That represents more than half of data breaches or losses if you consider all federal agencies in question. That's extremely high for a single year.
With so many data breaches or losses, how do you intend to do a better job of managing Canadians' personal information and reduce the risk of identity theft that data breaches can lead to?
