Public Safety committee  The approach for 5G is under review right now in terms of the approach for Canada. I'm very confident of the relationship we've built with Canada's telecommunications providers and the work we've done to increase the cybersecurity elements regardless of the network. The collabora

Public Safety committee  The first was putting out the national cyber-threat assessment, trying to give something that gives the basics, and it came with a cyber-primer, explaining what these technical terms were and hopefully in plain language. We tried very hard.

Public Safety committee  It's on the web. We tweeted it out and we published it. I did a lot of media. It's strange to be in a media role as a public servant. It's a little surreal. We're trying to get that information out in different ways. I would love to see every member of Parliament being able to co

Public Safety committee  It's a matter of where we're allowed to advertise and how we do it, but we'll take that as part of our communication strategy. We're always looking for ways to improve our reach.

Public Safety committee  We do. We tend to go digital; it's our go-to.

Public Safety committee  I don't know the answer to that question.

Public Safety committee  We collaborate very closely with the National Cyber Security Centre in the U.K. We are trying to apply lessons learned. Part of it is that they're further along. We're about 121 days into the cyber centre stand-up and they're a couple of years in. We are looking at how we can im

Public Safety committee  I think the policy and regulatory approach is something that is probably best left in your hands. For us, the basics do matter, though, and organizations do need to do them. I think the issue now is working with them, and we're trying to get the technology companies to actually i

Public Safety committee  The financial sector, for example, makes significant investments. They have excellent capabilities in terms of fraud detection, etc. In fact, it's one of the areas where we're hoping to learn from them in terms of how they use what I'll call artificial intelligence, machine learn

Public Safety committee  Thanks for the question. I think I actually said that, although I also said that being turned off makes it the most secure network. I think there are a few elements to that. The password is something that has changed quite a bit. We are relooking at our password advice for th

Public Safety committee  We're talking partnerships right now. We take a partnership approach.

Public Safety committee  We tend to approach it from the point of view that we never trust the thing below what we're working on. For example, if Eric and I are communicating, sending emails back and forth, we always look and say that we can't trust the network, because the way the Internet works, that c

Public Safety committee  Not to speak on behalf of the Information Commissioner, but I think from our perspective we're looking to get that information much earlier in the process than when you know the magnitude of a breach. We're hoping that it will be when the very first indication of a cyber-compromi

Public Safety committee  Right now we're not finding difficulty with the private sector in terms of engagement. They are very willing to come to the table, partner with us, report incidents, work together collaboratively when they see something, or when we see something. I think Canadian industry very mu

Public Safety committee  If you look from the policing perspective, certainly our goal is to try to get people to go to the police when they are victims of these types of scams, so the police can take action. I think that's one of the first things, to encourage people that the police aren't going to come
