Mr. Speaker, this question allows me to highlight how Canada is co-operating with like-minded democracies around the world, both in the context of the Five Eyes relationship as well as the G7. I had a chance to meet with both counterparts very recently, one in Washington, D.C., and then, about two weeks ago, in Germany. It is without doubt that all the democracies within these multilateral forums are thinking very hard about how to manage threats in cyber, including ransomware, including the spread of disinformation and including the efforts of hostile actors to engage in cyber-espionage and the like. The way we are advancing that collaboration is through information and intelligence sharing as much as possible, so that we can push back against efforts to attack our economies and to attack Canadian interests, etc. Even as we present Bill C-26 for debate, to take decisive action here at home domestically by addressing the current gaps within our cyber-realm, we are also collaborating very robustly with partners around the world who are like-minded in managing these threats.
