I think parliamentarians need to understand what resilience means, and they have to have an understanding of what you're building resilience to.
You have to look at Canada's strategic industries and how mis- and disinformation might be used to disrupt our agri-food system and food security, our national energy policy and the resilience and networks there, and, of course, election security.
I think you have to look at what our adversaries want to do to disrupt our ability to meet our own needs as well as the needs of our export markets and those sorts of things. I think there needs to be a strategic piece here that protects the Canadian economy, and I think there's a profound economic aspect to this that also needs to be looked at.
This committee does need to understand that resiliency is not infinite. What doesn't kill you sometimes does not make you stronger. Sometimes it weakens you, and the pandemic has weakened Canada. It's weakened our health status and, in national security terms, the status of the physical and mental health and resilience of each individual is seen to be the biggest defence against mis- and disinformation. That's in that doctrine. It's been the mental health and cognitive capacity of each Canadian to figure out how to act in the face of that. Thank you.
