Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the government unveiled our new national security plan, the first comprehensive update of its kind in more than 20 years. At a time of increasing geopolitical instability, foreign interference, cyber-threats and economic uncertainty, this strategy will help ensure that Canada is prepared to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. Can the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Safety tell the House why this landmark strategy is important for the country?
