Public Safety committee  If you don't mind, I might like to tackle this one. CCTX, the Canadian Cyber Threat Exchange, was mentioned a couple of times. It's a group of businesses that have gathered together under one umbrella to share information about vulnerabilities. Maybe we want to just focus on th

Public Safety committee  I'd say he's probably right on the smaller companies. I think the average number of days that a threat exists on a network before it's discovered is 271 days.

I think the European Union and Australia are both good examples of where the site blocking and the de-indexing approach have had some success. I wouldn't want to limit the idea that we only nee

Industry committee  In terms of how we've approached this, the FairPlay submission asked the CRTC to be an arbitrator of online content. That was rejected and has moved back to this forum. We're suggesting a competent authority now. Obviously, that is the courts.
