Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for joining us for this very important study.
Mr. Paterson, you shared a story, but there are so many that I've heard from constituents and family members. We ourselves get these calls and SMS messages. It's a rather complex problem that we're dealing with. It's a global issue. We're ultimately seeing issues around extortion. We're trying to wrap around all of these different ways that people are being attacked.
I was wondering if you can very quickly share how the cyber-threats facing different organizations and governments differ between Canada and the U.S. Is there a specific vulnerability that you can point to? What do fraudsters most commonly exploit as targets? It could be systems that each government has or the regulations that they have in overseeing some of these platforms like Meta and WhatsApp.
Can you share something on that?
