Absolutely. We started with the telecommunications sector, where we see from a cybersecurity perspective that they're the root of so much, but then we've expanded that into the energy sector, particularly concentrating on the electricity sector from coast to coast. So we do have partners that we're working with and have absolutely contacted the senior levels of those companies. We always look to grow those partnerships. I just described the work we did with the telecommunications companies. We're looking at doing something similar with the electricity companies—co-development, where they invest with us on how to combat this—to address some of the threats they're facing in research development. One of the criteria is that as we learn things, it has to be shared with everybody in the sector.
If we work with one specific company, we are very conscious never to create a competitive advantage for them. We want to make sure it's going to the whole sector. We're the government; our goal is to make sure that it's coast to coast to coast, and also shared openly so we can all benefit from it no matter where you are. There are bigger companies in Canada, and they have more resources. We've seen them step up. We've seen their senior executives step up. We work with them. I have fairly regular meetings with senior executives from the energy companies, for example, and also from the telcos, just to make sure that we're on track and are addressing the biggest threats. They have a very good understanding of risks. That's growing, but it still needs to grow.
To your point, critical infrastructure is large. There are a number of providers. It is very dispersed in Canada. We are looking for some leaders, but also for organizations like industry associations to bring all of their members to the table and represent them to us.
