I would tie the cyber-threat back to the general threat from great powers in China and Russia that have a number of different elements of statecraft at their disposal. Cyber is one that they employ in concert with a number of different aspects—intelligence, conventional military and economic linkages—but cyber is increasingly the fabric that underpins much or all of that. Having a sophisticated understanding of how that all works, a good ability to defend our own networks, and an ability to take so-called offensive action, if that's what the Canadian interests require, is important.
