Thank you for the question.
To bring both of your questions together, wherein you were asking about the risk of not acting, in IBM we operate with, partner with and strategically advise over 1,700 organizations. Admittedly, they're not all in the direct scope of this, but they would be impacted through the passing of Bill C-26. Many of those organizations struggle. Many of those organizations are focused on Canada. Many of them are focused on multinational. By not acting within Canada, we are, in effect, encouraging those organizations to pause on Canada.
We don't have the regulations. We don't have the definitions. We don't have the laws in place for them to understand the arena they're playing in within Canada. This bill languishing is causing that pause to get larger.
From a collective individual perspective, it also shifts into the mindset of our resources, our teams and our neighbours. Our graduates—our children coming up through education —challenge what Canada's position is on cyber risk and cybersecurity, not just for the critical infrastructure that we need to run and operate, but for the employment opportunities that we have and that our organizations have.
