Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This question is going to be focused on Mr. Desai.
The very fact that a company such as Nuctech could get this far in the process without anyone flagging it for security reasons is absolutely shocking, and I think it just demonstrates how our government—and maybe it has been going on for a long time—is taking our national security so for granted.
I read that the European Medicines Agency was hacked recently. They got information about the Pfizer vaccine. FireEye, the top private cybersecurity firm in the United States, was hacked. Even the cybersecurity companies are getting hacked.
I am being reassured by this government over and over again that they have a plan and that they're ready to protect our vaccine supply chains and protect our data with cybersecurity, but I'm just not convinced when I'm seeing all these countries around the world, countries similar to Canada, getting hacked and top firms such as FireEye getting hacked.
I want to get your comment. Does our government have an adequate strategy to enhance and protect our cybersecurity, and if not, why not?
