Mr. Chair, that's a really great question. I'm glad to get the opportunity to address this.
We've been working with Canada's critical infrastructure providers for quite a while. Now, we do have to concentrate on the ones that are most at risk, so when we talk about the electricity sector in this report, that's a sector where we have been working both to build the relationships that we need across the country and with energy providers such as the Canadian Electricity Association to make sure we're addressing cyber-threats proactively.
Over a year ago, one of the things I did was that I participated in the tabletop exercise to simulate what would happen in an event where there was a cybersecurity incident, just to make sure that we're prepared, that we had gone through it and there were no gaps in the process. We continuously are looking to improve here.
This is an area where the technology changes are something that the sector is very aware of. They're very much resiliency based. They understand. They're used to dealing with things like major weather events, etc. Cybersecurity can be looked at as just a different source of the same type of impact. They're organizations that understand risk resiliency, and it's a very easy conversation. We're working closely with them. We are looking to address the threats. We're looking to see how we can expand not only into proactive cybersecurity, but into the discovery of threats before they manifest on the network, and we're looking for some joint projects.
At the cyber centre, one of the areas that we really like to concentrate on is innovation. We do that collaboratively, though. We do that collaboratively by bringing in partners from the energy sector and their suppliers, and we ask them if we can we tackle these problems together. If it is the convergence of operational technology, we ask how we can work with them and other leaders in industry, and we ask how we can detect when there's a threat or when there's somebody targeting and then proactively deal with it.
One of our goals is to make sure that is shared sector-wide from coast to coast to coast with every provider and to get that information out quickly. While one might fall victim, we don't want it to be two. Information sharing is also an important piece here when something is hitting, so that others can be inoculated against the threat as well.
