We asked a few of the organizations that weren't using it—some of the departments and agencies, and some of the Crown corporations—and they gave us a few reasons. The first, for some, was that it might potentially impact their independence. For example, if you're a Crown corporation, there's the need to stay at arm's length from the government. They were also concerned about the limited ability to customize these sensors to meet their needs. They also had concerns around the support and maintenance that might be offered by Shared Services Canada.
What I can tell you is that the Office of the Auditor General is one of the most independent organizations in the government. I have cyber-defences and use the sensors on top of those, because I believe every Canadian expects every federal organization to do everything it can to protect their personal information or information about the government.
