One of the benefits that Shared Services Canada will provide is a noticeable improvement in how well our systems stand up to cyber attacks, and an increase in how reliable and secure existing systems are, not to mention our own services. Our plans already take that into account. The amounts discussed today come under a new strategy announced by the government. That strategy is intended to increase the number of measures in place, while enhancing our ability to detect problems, defend the government security perimeter and respond to incidents quickly and much more effectively.
This investment is geared towards noticeably improving our ability to develop and deliver our services. As for the consolidation of our services and infrastructure, that will take a few years, given that our organization only recently came into being. Every time we make changes or consolidation efforts, we will be able to improve the security of our systems.
