On August 4, the Information Technology Association of
Canada released a submission outlining 24
recommendations across nine areas for the federal government's
2018 budget. The submission listed cybersecurity as one of nine
areas of focus and made a number of recommendations, including that
the government "[a]ppoint an externally focused Chief
Information Security Officer for Canada" to act as a liaison
between the government, businesses, and the public, and
"centralize cyber security leadership within the federal
government and provide Shared Services Canada with the necessary
investments to protect the Government of Canada's cyber
perimeter and critical infrastructure."
