I've been alerted to where I was. Thank you. I'm sorry about that. Technology affects us all.
In coordination with our industry partners and the international work of cybersecurity organizations, we have contributed to removing of fraudulent sites, and I talked about the protection of the CERB, the Canadian emergency response benefit.
Cyber-attackers are now looking to exploit teleworking connections because so many people are now working outside of their organization's traditional IT security perimeters. In response, the cyber centre has partnered with the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, or CIRA as you've heard, to create and launch CIRA's Canadian Shield. This is a free DNS firewall service that will provide online privacy and security to Canadians. CIRA has shown tremendous leadership in giving Canadians an option to better protect themselves online, and I thank them for their partnership.
To further protect Canadians, the next important step we've taken is informing Canadians about cybersecurity matters. Through targeted advice and guidance, the cyber centre is helping to protect Canadians' cybersecurity interests. We shared cybersecurity tips on video teleconferencing tools and telework to help inform and educate Canadians about how to stay safe online, particularly while many of us are working from home.
The cyber centre has created a collection of advice and guidance products, many of which are now more relevant than ever. I encourage Canadians to visit our website to learn more about our specific guidelines and best practices that can be applied to protect yourself from cyber threats.
Finally, it is important to note that the Government of Canada has a strong and valuable relationship with our international cyber partners. We regularly share information, which has a significant impact on protecting our respective countries' safety and security. CSE and the cyber centre are working to address cyber threats facing Canadians during these times; however, cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility and will take all of our expertise to protect Canada and Canadians.
Thank you again for the opportunity to appear before you today, and thank you for your patience with technology. I am pleased to answer any questions you may have.
