Thank you very much, Mr. Arbour.
Minister, this bill is fundamentally about strengthening the infrastructure for Canadians who rely on our telecommunications network. Bill C-26, the predecessor of this legislation, passed unanimously in the House last year, because protecting Canada's telecommunications system is a shared national priority.
Could you please explain what vulnerabilities or gaps in our current framework Bill C-8 is designed to address and how it enhances the security and resilience of those networks?
