Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think everyone agrees on the urgent need for this study and the fact that we need to do it as soon as possible. That's the case for me as well.
My fellow NDP member, Brian Masse, was among those who made the request.
I think two meetings is a good idea.
The Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry needs to be there.
I'm also in favour of Mr. Champoux's idea to invite the Minister of Public Safety given all the public safety issues that arose. It's a serious problem when you can't call 911 to request an ambulance for someone who is having a heart attack, whether it's a loved one or a stranger in the park. That's a national security issue, in my book.
What's more, we can't just rule out the possibility of cyber-attacks from hostile countries, now or in the future. We have to have a system that is robust.
It's important that we leave no stone unturned and ask all the right questions. We need to be able to do that, so I think we should invite the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry as well as the Minister of Public Safety.
