The primary role of such an individual—it could be a parliamentary secretary—would, first of all, be to signal to all Canadians that cybersecurity is important. Second, it would be one individual empowered with ensuring policy coherence and program coherence across Canada. Currently, that does not exist.
I mentioned the Australian case, but the U.K. also has a parliamentary secretary responsible for cybersecurity. We used to have a parliamentary secretary for digital. That is no longer the case.
The role would be to look across the Government of Canada to ensure coherence and unity of effort and to unify our approach to defending the country.
