Perhaps I could just jump onto what Rajiv said.
We're not used to calling each other “Mr.” and “Ms.”, because we've worked together so closely for the last 20 years.
Pat can talk about this in a little more detail, but there isn't a minute that goes by when there's not a government department under a denial-of-service attack. Pat's team right now will be mitigating that with our automated defences. You almost never notice them because of the defences and what we've layered in.
As we go through, this is where we talk about the best available commercial defences. Shared Services Canada is responsible for deploying that, making sure we maintain that, keeping it up to date and continually modernizing the commercial side of things. When it gets past those—there are threat actors that are able to get past that—that's when we turn to our colleagues at the Canadian centre for cybersecurity and the Communications Security Establishment.
That's what I would say is the “secret sauce” of the Government of Canada. It's the fact that we have this continuum. It is not separate things. It goes together. I think one of the key points in the Auditor General's report is that you bring this together and you bring a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity. Not a minute goes by when we are not suffering some sort of denial-of-service attack from all around the world.
