Yes, I would say one word: resiliency.
The purpose of this act is to ensure resiliency of the telecom network in particular. Like you said, natural disasters come more frequently, they seem to be more violent, and they seem to come in different forms. Therefore, from forest fires, to hailstorms we had in Quebec, to floods in Atlantic Canada, we should not just look at this bill in terms of security, but also, when it comes to many of these crucial networks, as resiliency.
You would want a future minister of industry to have some power. Like I said, last time, in light of that, we signed this memorandum of understanding. Basically I gathered the CEOs, and I said we need to do better—you need to do better to protect Canadians. We did it.
I think it is wise, I would say, for a nation like Canada to have statutes in the book to be able to compel...not only relying on the goodwill of actors, which they did. Like you said, for people in times of need, these systems become critical. When you can't access the phone line and you're subject to a flood or another natural disaster, these powers would at least compel us to take certain actions. Obviously, it would be for the service provider to take these actions. At least you would have a kind of power, not just a soft power to convene and ask. Then you could compel others to do things.
