[Verse 1]
Power grids and data lines, the backbone of our nation
Transportation hubs and defence sites need our protection
Cyber threats and physical attacks, they're growing every day
Critical infrastructure stands as targets in harm's way
[Chorus]
Defend, Detect, and Respond - three pillars standing strong
Energy, Comms, Transport, Defence - protect them all along
Policy gaps must be filled, authorities made clear
Critical Infrastructure Protection - keep Canada secure
[Verse 2]
Hackers target power plants, seeking to disrupt
Communication networks face malware so corrupt
Railways, airports, highways too, vulnerable to attack
Defence installations need security front and back
[Chorus]
Defend, Detect, and Respond - three pillars standing strong
Energy, Comms, Transport, Defence - protect them all along
Policy gaps must be filled, authorities made clear
Critical Infrastructure Protection - keep Canada secure
[Bridge]
Federal, provincial, private sector too
Working together, that's what we must do
Share intelligence, coordinate response
Prevention frameworks, give threats no chance
[Verse 3]
Risk assessment comes first, identify what's at stake
Redundancy and backup plans, for when systems break
Public-private partnerships, sharing information flow
Multi-layered defence systems, stop attacks before they grow
[Chorus]
Defend, Detect, and Respond - three pillars standing strong
Energy, Comms, Transport, Defence - protect them all along
Policy gaps must be filled, authorities made clear
Critical Infrastructure Protection - keep Canada secure
[Outro]
From coast to coast to coast, our infrastructure stands
Protected by the frameworks, we're building with our hands
Defend, Detect, Respond - remember these three
Canada's critical systems, strong and safe and free
