Bloc Québécois MP Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay is concerned that pending legislation currently being debated in the House of Commons will not sufficiently address certain Canadian cybersecurity issues pertaining to national security, particularly when it comes to potential online Chinese intrusions into Canada’s cybersphere.
If passed, Bill C-26 will require Canadian key enterprises in the banking and telecommunications industries to improve their cybersecurity measures and also to report to police any cyberattacks made against them, regardless of the ransom costs for doing so.
