Yes, there is, actually, a pretty significant investment in the main estimates, but also in the DPU and in the Communications Security Establishment itself—and I'm joined here by the chief today, Chief Xavier.
I point out, first of all, that the threat environment is evolving and becoming far more concerning with each passing day. We see activities of certain adversaries—notably China, but also Russia and other adversaries as well—that are constantly attacking critical infrastructure in our systems. I think the CSE does a pretty remarkable job of protecting our systems, but what we've seen is those same adversaries are now targeting some of our northern regional governments, provincial and municipal governments and other forms of critical infrastructure, and so we are investing fairly significantly, through these main estimates but also in the DPU, to increase what I think is already an extraordinary capability.
I would be remiss if I didn't share with this committee that I've had a number of conversations with our allies, particularly in Five Eyes but also in NATO. Canada's cyber-capability is considered first in class right around the world. It's hard to brag about this because we don't want to scare people, but at the same time our people are doing remarkable work. Their work is valued by all of our allies. One reason we're making it even more significant is that they're demonstrating real value for every dollar we spend at CSE. We believe that spending more dollars, as is reflected in these estimates and in our new DPU, is going to produce real value for Canadians.
