Mr. Shipley started with one example.
If you think about cyber incidents and threats, I don't think we can even keep up with any records and reporting in terms of how many there are a day. MP O'Connell, you mentioned Atlantic Canada, the Newfoundland health care infrastructure that was impacted as well. It's a snowball effect. If one portion of critical infrastructure gets impacted, it impacts our economy and society, and it also impacts how foreign direct investment will happen in the future. How do foreign entities see us? Do they want to settle in Canada? Do they want to build a future here as businesses, as communities and as talent?
I see it as a two-way.... While we have trouble in front of our own door, within the country, it is also on a global level. How do we get perceived and how do we best align ourselves and ensure that we are...? This is the cyber tag line right now: Lead the global cybersecurity future and be the most secure country on the planet. Canada can be that, and I think Bill C-26 is a step forward, but we need to speed it up a little, as it has already been in discussion for quite some time.
Thank you.
