Thank you, Mr. Chair. I've been too quiet. You forgot.
Thank you to the witnesses.
Ms. Michaud asked a question that is similar to what I wanted to ask.
Ms. Mason, you pretty much touched on it. I suspect banking will be ahead of the game already in terms of what this legislation is doing, so I'm going to direct my question to our telecom witnesses.
The issue around privacy and privacy protection is very real, and we definitely want to make sure that the balance is right, but on the other side, one could argue that if you are not dealing with critical infrastructure, such as telecommunications infrastructure, in the right way, those bad actors who could access that do not care about the privacy protection of Canadians.
The telecoms and banks—which, again, I think Ms. Mason touched on—hold a lot of data for Canadians, including location data, credit card data and a lot of personal information. If your systems are not protected, with the constant ebb and flow of cybersecurity—let's remember that it is constantly changing—and you're not able to react to those changes and work with government, don't you think the risk to Canadians' privacy would be far greater, being exposed to bad actors who want to access that data and sell it or produce it for nefarious reasons? Wouldn't the privacy of Canadians be better served by strong cybersecurity infrastructure?
