Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome both of the witnesses.
Ms. Tribe, at one of the committee's last meetings, a leading national security expert said that approximately 200,000 people in China were actively engaged in computer network operations, the technical term for cyber operations. He said that China was a genuine threat to Canada.
Do you, knowing that genuine threats exist, maintain that the Communications Security Establishment should not have any defensive capability?
