I think there's a specific question about the incident itself. Clarity needs to be provided a little bit, insofar as the service is not the lead for cybersecurity for the Government of Canada. As well, I think this issue is relevant to another committee study, so I won't address that specific fact.
On the broader question around information sharing, certainly the service has some significant limitations in the disclosure of information collected in its duties and functions with anyone outside the federal government beyond law enforcement, effectively. With amendments in the act, there would be a clear authority to engage outside the federal government for the purpose of building resiliency to threats. That could be an early, preventive, proactive kind of disclosure of information, informed by our investigations.
Where information has a personal or private element, the minister would determine that the information could be disclosed if it were in the public interest. I don't want to really speculate on a specific scenario such as this one, with hindsight, but I do think this would improve our ability to engage.
