Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the question and the opportunity to give a clearer response.
Not having reviewed the procurement and not being in a position to understand the technologies that will be on the actual vessels, because that has not been our role so far, my current understanding is that there are no national security threats that would raise concern. These are not connected vessels, and they do not pose the types of things we would be concerned about in terms of data sovereignty, for example, or private information that could be collected on Canadian citizens through the use of those ferries. At this point, there is nothing to flag to the committee.
