As has been mentioned by my colleagues, part of the work we do is to ensure that any tools we use in the cyber-defence of Canada are tools that we trust and that minimize any of the vulnerabilities we're concerned about. They go through rigorous testing, rigorous assessments, and as part of the procurement contracts, we outline clear conditions that must exist.
No matter what products we will use, no matter which country they will come from, this forms the basis of the work that's required to be done, especially if we at CSE are going to use them, because we want to ensure that we continue to keep our systems secure. Therefore, it matters to pay attention to the supply chain, as mentioned earlier, and to pay attention to who the potential contractors are. They still have to undergo a very rigorous process when it comes to security, personnel security, especially if they're going to work for, and be employed by, the Communications Security Establishment.
