Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank the witnesses, Ms. Lankin and Mr. McGuinty.
I'm going to pursue Ms. Michaud's line of questioning.
Mr. McGuinty, you mentioned the fact that 31 federal departments were targeted by China. Most of these cyber‑attacks were not successful. Last week, the Internet sites of Hydro‑Québec, the Port of Quebec and the Laurentian Bank were hit. In all those cases, Russia was responsible.
I would firstly like to know how we can determine if these cyber‑attacks were successful or not, or if their defence systems were up to the task or not.
Secondly, as you so eloquently said, Mr. McGuinty, these attacks are going to become increasingly complex and more and more frequent. I am looking at the recommendations, and it seems to me that the federal government has not followed up on all of them. Are we too slow to respond to the growing threat to our infrastructure?
