Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am happy to be back, even though my voice is still a bit hoarse.
I thank the witnesses for being with us today. It's really nice to see them in person.
Mr. Burton, you are clearly an expert on China. I will put some questions to you about that later.
In your opening remarks, you said that Canada was inadequately prepared to respond to security or cybersecurity threats and that it was less prepared than its allies.
What do you think explains that? Is it a lack of investments over the years?
What can we do to catch up?
Considering what is happening in Ukraine, is it too late or do we have enough time to prepare adequately?
