Thank you so much.
My questions are going to be for Mr. Ness. They will, I'm sure, take up the full two and a half minutes.
Mr. Ness, I'm going to ask you two questions, and you can answer them in the order you prefer. I want to revisit the communications and the utilities.
My first question is this: What can the federal government do to protect the communications systems and the utilities that Canadians rely on every day, especially during natural disasters?
The second question is this: From your 20 years of experience, can you share some of the government roadblocks you have faced in regard to our lack of preparedness for extreme weather events and in regard to resilient infrastructure?
