I think most of the Government of Canada external facing sites are subject to the same protection regime. The protection around data.gc.ca might be a little bit higher than other sites, but it is maintained outside of the firewall, not within the firewall of the Government of Canada. We've been up and running for three years now through the various versions of data.gc.ca and there have been no incidents so far. As Corrine mentioned, we just ran the CODE hackathon over the weekend and we put in place specific protection regime in order to bump it up a little bit, and again there were no incidents.
