There are three different consultations going on with respect to cyber issues and digital issues. Obviously, that is included, in part, in the national security review that I am responsible for. At the same time, we have a focused discussion with industry and with the public on cybersecurity issues and the protection of critical Canadian infrastructure. That's going on at the same time in a different forum, a parallel study. In addition to that, cyber issues are covered in the national defence review that my colleague the Minister of National Defence is conducting.
It's a crosscutting issue. It's not just in one department or one dimension of government. Cyber issues cut across the whole span of government and the private sector operations. It's a field that is rapidly evolving, and we need to make sure that our cyber policy is up to speed. The last cyber policy in Canada was from 2010, I believe. Even in the span of four or five years, it is generally regarded now as outdated. It was thought to be, in 2010, quite avant-garde, ahead of the curve, but cyber issues have evolved so dramatically that we are not as up to speed as we ought to be. That is why we are looking at it from the point of view of public safety, from the point of view of industry and the private sector, and from the point of view of national defence.
