Thanks for that.
I wonder, then, how governments make decisions about how much money to allocate to cybersecurity, if they don't know the scope of the threat.
We just heard from an official at Public Safety, Mr. Schwartz. He mentioned that $500 million was allocated in the 2019 budget. Given what we've seen over the last number of weeks in this country and the incredible shortfalls in our own security and defence funding, he suggested that this was sufficient, albeit with the caveat that the threats are growing.
Can you talk a little bit about where Canada falls in terms of our funding towards cybersecurity? How do we know how much money to spend if we don't know the scope of the problem, and why are we spending so much less than our allies?
