Canada to establish cyber security program alongside US to protect defence supply chain, Anand says

Defence Minister Anita Anand announced on Wednesday at Canada’s Global Defence and Security Trade Show (CANSEC) that Canada would be partnering with the U.S. on establishing a cyber security certification program for defence contractors. Under the program, contractors would only need to be certified under a single entity, Anand said.

Anand also announced that where possible, Canada “would work with Indigenous and Northern governments to bring benefit from our investment.” She also announced the launch of the new National Defence Indigenous Reconciliation program, which Anand says will help build and broaden relationships across Canada.

“This program will provide up to $1.5 million a year for the next four years for projects that incorporate the expertise and traditional knowledge of Indigenous communities across Canada,” the defence minister said.

Chinese consulates, are you listerning?

[primmakinsofis]

Sounds like a backdoor way to crack down on regular citizens to me.

[ArabicReja]

Can companies linked to China's entities be certified as a defense contractor?

[ZenCorvus]

Oh good so it means canadians will pay severely for this with a supply chain that will be compromised and our rights will be further eroded.

The Canadian government spied on our devices during covid. You are a fool to trust them.

I wonder which Chinese company will win this contract?

[Spitfire_Cowboy]

Hopefully they will push ZTA as a requirement for all in the supply chain.
0:30 oh nice. Now it will cost 200k/year to recertify.
