National Defence committee  CAF is a much larger organization than we are, so they would have much different types of recruitment challenges than we do. We certainly have witnessed a huge interest in working for this service just from the volume of applications that come to us on a regular basis.

National Defence committee  I'm not going to speak specifically to Huawei, but I would note, further to a response to a question I answered earlier, that the Chinese national security law compels any of these companies to engage in activities in support of the government's requirements.

National Defence committee  What I would say is that right now, the Government of Canada is engaged in an ongoing review that's being led by Public Safety and it's determining the Canadian approach for the implementation of 5G technology and telecommunications networks.

National Defence committee  All of our allies have taken different approaches to 5G and to Huawei and to the implementation, and they're adopting various mitigation measures to protect their national security in response to the needs of their unique environments, and we all continue to talk and work very cl

National Defence committee  Thank you for your question. I'm going to switch languages to answer. This is another very interesting question. What I would say is that, under section 12 of the CSIS Act, we can do an investigation overseas if it is determined that there is a threat to our national security.

National Defence committee  I believe that Mr. Khoury has answered the question. Neither of our two agencies is here to regulate social media platforms. That is the responsibility of other departments and perhaps society as a whole, as to how we want to manage that situation.

National Defence committee  Thank you for your question, but I, personally, don't have that information. I would direct you to FINTRAC, which would be the better department to answer that type of question.

National Defence committee  There are no obstacles, per se, that would prevent us. What I think we need to do is make sure that, one, we have all the tools that are necessary and are fully aware of where technology is moving and how it's developing. Then, it's also extremely important that we balance the ri

National Defence committee  What I would say is that Russia is an extremely capable threat actor. We know that Russian intelligence services have previously engaged in disinformation campaigns to discredit and create divisions in the west, to promote Russia's influence abroad, and to push for an end to west

National Defence committee  Yes, I am aware of that law. It is a law that I believe was brought in in 2017, if I'm correct. That law does compel all Chinese companies to support any requirements of the Chinese government.

National Defence committee  That's a very good question. Thank you for it. It's very important, as I think both Mr. Khoury and I have said, that every agency that has national security responsibilities is able to investigate those attacks using the tools that each agency brings to the fight, in a sense. T

National Defence committee  My understanding right now is that Canada regularly suffers thousands of cyber-threat attacks on a daily basis all across the country, and numerous organizations are under that attack. I wouldn't have for you actual stats on which particular countries those are coming from. I wou

National Defence committee  Yes, I would. It is an ever-increasing issue, and it's something that we all need to be alive to. As we have moved forward in technology advancement, there has been much more cyber-activity in that area and many more cyber-actors. Historically, we focused on state-sponsored att

National Defence committee  I can start with that one. This is one of the things I worry very much about. The service investigates and tries to do a lot of outreach to inform our research industries and our companies that are involved in research and development. As you know, Canada is a top leader in rese

National Defence committee  Mr. Chair, members of the committee, good afternoon. I'm Cherie Henderson, the assistant director of requirements at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you once again this year, this time to discuss cybersecurity, which of
