Mr. Chair, we are certainly very conscious of the need to protect our telecommunications networks and other networks with respect to 5G technology. We have been looking at this matter for some time. We are continuing to do our assessment of the situation, but I want to assure Canadians that we have been very successful up until now in terms of protecting networks with respect to cyber attacks and we will continue to use that approach when it comes to 5G.
