Thank you very much, Minister, for being here. I appreciate that.
Minister, industry representatives who appeared before this committee told us that they were concerned about having to make major investments as a result of the recommendations on telecommunications security. They suggested that an amendment be made to Bill C‑8 that would allow for discretionary compensation. We know what discretionary compensation is worth: not much.
At this point, I would be satisfied to know that the Minister of Industry is perhaps open to the idea of such a possibility, because all kinds of programs are moving in that direction.
Is that something you could consider at some point if major investments were indeed necessary?
