Thank you, Chair, and welcome to Mr. Hill as well. Your travels finally got you here.
I'd like to refer to the commissioner's comments earlier about the number of breaches that are becoming commonplace, and as he said, becoming a growing phenomenon. He's approximated at 60 a year the number of breaches that are being declared at this time. That's up or down a bit, but that's going to continue to grow with mandatory notification.
Mr. Smith, I would like to start with you directly, and then go to Mr. Elder. I wonder if you could give me some examples within your community, within the chamber, and within its membership, of what businesses are doing to take action today, to comply with this legislation that's coming forward.
In terms of protecting against such breaches, how are businesses getting ready for this type of phenomenon?
