Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Essex for the question. I know that as chair of the industry committee she has been following this issue very carefully.
The health, safety, security and well-being of Canadians remain our priority. I am pleased to report that the government-wide mission critical systems are over 99% ready. Although we do not expect any major disruptions, we have developed contingency plans so Canadians will continue to receive essential services in our country. Indeed we work very closely with provincial governments and the private sector.
