Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. It's great to be here at this committee for the first time.
I'd like to start with you, Mr. Paterson. Hopefully, we've had the technical issues worked out here. One thing I understand about safeguarding against frauds and scams is that it's very much a multi-layered effort. There are individual decisions people can make to protect themselves. Then, at the system level, we also have protections that are needed.
I'm just wondering, given the security work you do, what caution could be given to the government, in the context of Bill C-22, the lawful access act, which actually requires the insertion of back doors into what are, right now, secure.... I'm just thinking of how that would affect people's vulnerability to bad actors, instead of just law enforcement, using those same back doors.
