Thank you, Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Jones, for coming before us today.

This is a very sobering report. There's some encouragement knowing that we can do some things ourselves and I'd like to ask you first about the CIRA Canadian Shield, which you call a “free protected DNS service that prevents you from connecting to malicious websites”.

First of all, for the uninitiated like me, I first heard of this today by the way, so thank you very much for that.

What is a DNS service, for one, and for two, do you have all your personal devices connected using this CIRA Canadian Shield yourself?
