Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Minister, for being with us today.
I'd like to carry on with the theme of cybersecurity.
I recently received a briefing from the public safety department concerning cybersecurity. When I asked, very bluntly, what the Pearl Harbor moment would be in terms of a cybersecurity attack, they mentioned pipelines in the middle of winter—presumably, gas pipelines. As you know, these provide significant heat to our homes, hospitals, grocery stores, government buildings and schools.
Would you agree this would constitute a major emergency—a cyber-attack on a pipeline in the middle of winter in Canada?
