Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Shipley, when you were talking about the relationship that Russia has cultivated with criminal organizations, it reminded me of a few centuries ago when England cultivated a relationship with privateers to basically do its dirty business for it.
On the mandatory incident reporting, going beyond federally regulated industries, the federal government has its relationship with the provinces, even with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, so those subnational governments. When it comes to the private sector, I guess I want to know.... I agree with you that this is important, but often, when criminal organizations are holding a company hostage, one of their biggest threats is that, if you go to the police, we'll come after you.
How do we bypass that specific threat? That's what has made private companies loath to go to the authorities, because that is a very real threat to their organization.
