It's a real pleasure to be here to answer the question.
In the mains, we have been given an increase of almost $76 million. However, as was stated by the minister, the defence policy update gives us an additional almost $1 billion over the next five years, investing in our cyber-defence and foreign cyber-operations.
In terms of what we do as an organization, we have a five-part mandate. Part of that mandate includes the cybersecurity information assurance, the cyber-defence landscape. We take that role extremely seriously. We play that role in the sense that we do it for Government of Canada systems. We also pay attention to that for critical infrastructure, for the private sector and for anything else the nation needs us to do in support of cyber-defence.
We really work hard at promoting cyber resilience. That's where we do a lot of that work, in partnership with the critical infrastructure, with the Government of Canada, with the private sector and with municipalities and provinces and territories. That is part of the role we play.
In terms of the investments that are made specifically in the mains, $20 million of that funding is associated with the investment made related to the Indo-Pacific strategy, where CSE will play a role specifically linked to signals intelligence and the foreign intelligence that we'll continue to provide to senior decision-makers. As well, it's ongoing operations for the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, which is our cyber centre and provides that role that I was speaking to, in particular related to information assurance and cyber-defence for Canada and our critical infrastructure sectors.
We see that our role continues to be important. We do see that cyber itself plays a role in warfare. That is why it is good that we have the foreign cyber-operation authorities that we have, both active and defence cyber authorities that are authorized by the minister through ministerial authorities and supported by the Department of Foreign Affairs.
