Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Mr. Jones, for being with us and answering our questions.
I have two questions for you.
With all the trade agreements we've signed over the past five years, more and more Canadian companies are doing business in global markets, as you know. It's great for the Canadian economy, it's convenient and it's good for business.
In the domestic cyber threat assessment, you indicated that the threat of online espionage is certainly much higher for Canadian companies doing business abroad or working directly with foreign state-owned companies.
You've already touched on the subject and given suggestions on how Canadians and businesses can protect themselves. I'd like to know if you have any advice for companies that have direct contact with actors who may be sponsored by foreign states that could threaten cybersecurity.
