Government Operations committee  Absolutely. I've already talked about the example of taking down fraudulent websites and working with partners there. In another case, we've also issued many alerts directly to the health care sector. We have cross-sector tables where we've worked with Canadian industry on COVI

Government Operations committee  I get those same calls as well.

Government Operations committee  Sometimes, if I have a lot of time, I'll try to keep them occupied so at least if they spend time with me they don't spend time on another Canadian. In general, this is where I would look to the work that the CRTC and some of our telecommunication partners have been doing to try

Government Operations committee  It's important to note that right now there's an ongoing security review led by the Minister of Public Safety. We're certainly supporting the cybersecurity elements of that, and we take all the information we have into account. Certainly, something we face is how to secure any ne

Government Operations committee  We've been working to look at this to provide the cybersecurity advice as part of the broader, ongoing review. One of the key aspects for us is leveraging our experience since 2013 of running a cybersecurity review program, which was about building better security with our teleco

Government Operations committee  The 5G standards are evolving. One of the key things for us is making sure that regardless of vendors—no matter where those vendors come from in the world—we're building in security that is agnostic of origin. It's a complicated supply chain for all vendors, and one of the key th

Government Operations committee  One of the things we always look for is how products are being built, where they're being built, how they're being assembled, the origin of their components, the ownership of their companies, etc., and that's for any product.

In general, for most of this equipment it's not really a physical hardware issue; it's mostly software. Software right now is being written around the w

Government Operations committee  We would take it into account where we apply different mitigations. One example would be the lab testing program we have in place with a Canadian lab company that does additional testing. That's an additional mitigation measure that we put in place for the existing 4G network.

Government Operations committee  Zoom bombing was a phenomenon. We heard a lot about it at the beginning of the COVID crisis. We can do things like using the lobby as we did here, using unique codes and passwords, sharing those things as a way to minimize the number of people.... In terms of the communication

Government Operations committee  We've been working with the House of Commons to find an appropriate balance. Unfortunately, it was security.... No one product has all the features we need plus all the security things we would be looking for, and it really is to strike a balance between using—

Government Operations committee  I'm very comfortable with using Zoom for this. I think the way we've worked with the House of Commons to set it up and mitigate—

Government Operations committee  One of the things we are working on with the House of Commons staff is to provide a solution for caucus meetings, and for electronic voting as well, to make sure that we're adding additional layers of security. That is something we have been working with since the beginning in co
