Mr. Chair, through you to the member, I think this is an important question.
Let me just give you one statistic to start. I mentioned earlier that recently we did a survey of our members with respect to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. One of the questions we asked in that survey was whether or not their companies were discussing cybersecurity and business continuity with their suppliers. I can tell you that in that survey only 37% of the respondents said they were having discussions on cybersecurity with their tier one suppliers.
Herein lies the issue again. It's a critical issue. It can disrupt supply chains, but not all of our corporations are necessarily going to have the conversations. If they're having conversations within the confines of their corporation, they may or may not be having enough conversations downstream through the tiers of their suppliers.
This is a critical issue, and I wish I had the answer for it, but I think this committee and the government need to really look at ensuring that our corporations are having those discussions and that the support is there for them and their suppliers to make sure they have resolutions in place.
