WHAT IS CYBER SECURITY? Many teams worked together to create this guide from the comfort of their homes. Amid a worldwide pandemic, we managed to keep working. To create. To move forward. To communicate. But the COVID-19 pandemic did not bring out the best in everyone. There were unscrupulous people trying to take advantage of Canadian citizens. Our healthcare systems were targeted. Criminals were looking for Canadians’ names, SINs, addresses, birth dates, and banking and credit card information. Criminals tried to trick Canadians into clicking on links that would take them to malicious websites. The links were sent via text messages, emails, and social media apps. Once on the website, malicious code would start downloading onto devices to steal personal information. Stop for a minute to think about all the things you do on your Hi, my name is Christine Beauchamp, and I phone, tablet, or laptop. Do you do your banking online?

And, despite its small market size, Canada was the third most targeted country to possible cyber attacks in 2018. The growing threat of cyber attacks has made governments and industries more aware of the need to protect and defend the information and systems Canadians rely on. As a result, cyber security is growing as a recognizable discipline that encompasses multiple specialities in science, mathematics, business, social sciences, and computing and engineering faculties. Although only a subset of businesses participates directly by producing or selling cyber security solutions or by building or operating networks, every business uses technology to deliver its products and/or services securely and efficiently to consumers. Cyber security, as a result, has become more important to protect the computer systems of all businesses in all industries. FINANCE AND BANKING GOVERNMENT The industry maintains valuable Cyber attacks on governments are information such as client identities, increasing daily because a successful bank account information, financial attack provides access to large amounts assets, and intellectual property. of private and sensitive information. HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS Systems hold sensitive patient The industry transmits a large amount information and encompass medical of sensitive information such as online implant devices such as pacemakers retail transactions, email messages, that may be exploitable. web-browsing activity, social media platforms, and user’s private information. TRANSPORTATION An industry vulnerable to cyber attacks ENERGY AND UTILITIES to air and ground transportation An ideal target for cyber attacks on systems. As well, the industry holds industrial control systems to access sensitive and valuable information such data or to cause physical damage to as birth dates, and passport numbers. infrastructures. SAFETY Emergency response teams, law enforcement, call-center communications-management software, CCTV systems, interactive voice response systems, and emergency alert systems are all vulnerable to attack. 4 WHO IS HIRING? Everyone! That may be an exaggeration, but it is not far from the truth. Businesses of all kinds have proprietary information they need to protect. They also have the personal information of their employees, clients, suppliers, and business partners to protect. Every online retailer, bank, school, law firm, medical facility, utility, government has information and systems that need protection. Companies that engineer systems or new technologies, or companies that perform design work have intellectual property that needs to be protected. Basically, if a business uses the internet or a network to perform its tasks, it needs cyber security professionals! Cyber security is fundamental to good business. Private sector companies and government agencies both offer exciting career opportunities. Plus, the skills and experience acquired in either sector are attractive to both types of employers. So, mobility from one to another is always an option. The facts below highlight why cyber security professionals are in high demand. Any device that is connected to the internet is vulnerable to cyber attacks. Worldwide, there will be ~38.6 billion devices internet-connected devices by 2025.4 Cyber attacks happen every 39 seconds.5 WHAT DO CYBER SECURITY PROFESSIONALS DO?

  • Canada 2019 Human Rights Report
    CANADA 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Canada is a constitutional monarchy with a federal parliamentary government. In a free and fair multiparty federal election held on October 21, the Liberal Party, led by Justin Trudeau, won a plurality of seats in the federal parliament and formed a minority government. National, provincial, and municipal police forces maintain internal security. The armed forces are responsible for external security but in exceptional cases may exercise some domestic security responsibility at the formal request of civilian provincial authorities. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) reports to the Department of Public Safety, and the armed forces report to the Department of National Defense. Provincial and municipal police report to their respective provincial authorities. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Significant human rights issues included reports of indigenous women sterilized without their proper and informed consent. In addition, indigenous women suffered high rates of deadly violence, which government authorities during the year stated amounted to “genocide.” There was no impunity for officials who committed violations, and the government took steps to identify, investigate, prosecute, and punish them. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and Other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings There were no reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. b. Disappearance There were no reports of disappearances by or on behalf of government authorities. c. Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment CANADA 2 The law prohibits such practices, and there were no reports that government officials employed them.

A Bismarckian Moment: Charkaoui and Bill C-3 Craig Forcese and Lorne Waldman* I. INTRODUCTION The German statesman Otto von Bismarck once said that “[i]f you like laws and sausages, you should never watch either one being made.”1 The recent enactment of Bill C-32 — the government’s response to the Supreme Court’s February 2007 decision in Charkaoui v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration)3 — can best be described as a “Bismarckian moment”. An effort to remedy the core defects of the prior immigration security certificate regime, the new law cobbles together a potentially half-hearted “special advocate” regime and converts immigration law into a de facto system of indefinite limits on liberty for foreigners. The new system will generate an inevitable series of new constitutional challenges, some of which may succeed at the Supreme Court unless the deficiencies of Bill C-3 are cured by careful innovation at the Federal Court level.

Between 2001 and 2012, police officers per 100,000 of population in Canada rose 8.7% while the crime rate declined by 26.3%. This was accompanied by growing expenditures and a decline in work- load as measured by criminal code incidents per officer. Real per capita police expenditures in Canada between 1986 and 2012 rose 45.5% while criminal code incidents per officer declined by 36.8%. Public debate on rising police costs must be considered in the context of increasing overall public spending in Canada and a more complex society. Policing has evolved beyond just dealing with crime and includes a wider range of problem social behaviours, which are factors in police resource and expenditure growth. As well, there are changes in the technology of both crime and poli- cing as well as other factors affecting staffing such as operational load due to service demand and response time, socio-economic factors such as demo- graphics and crime trends, and strategic directions of police forces in terms of governance and policing methods.

    Date: 20061214 Docket: IMM-98-06 Citation: 2006 FC 1503 Ottawa, Ontario, December 14, 2006 PRESENT: The Honourable Madam Justice Tremblay-Lamer BETWEEN: MOHAMMAD ZEKI MAHJOUB applicant and THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION and THE SOLICITOR GENERAL OF CANADA respondents REASONS FOR JUDGMENT AND JUDGMENT INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND FACTS [1] There have been considerable proceedings related to the present matter. In addition to the following cursory overview, Appendix A to these reasons contains a more detailed chronology of related events. [2] Mr. Mohamed Zeki Mahjoub (the applicant) is an Egyptian national who came to Canada in 1995 and was found to be a Convention refugee in October 1996. [3] Mr. Mahjoub has been in detention since the Spring of 2000, when the Solicitor General of Canada and the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration (the Ministers ) issued a security certificate qualifying Mr. Mahjoub as inadmissible under section 19 of the Immigration Act , R.S.C. 1985, c. I-2 (former Act) in effect at that time. Appendix B to these reasons sets out the relevant parts of the former Act. This opinion was based on a security intelligence report expressing the belief of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) that Mr. Mahjoub was a member of an inadmissible class referred to in the former Act, by virtue of CSIS’ opinion that he: • will, while in Canada, engage in, or instigate, the subversion by force of the government of Egypt • is a member of the Vanguards of Conquest (VOC), a faction of Al Jihad (AJ). The VOC is an organization that there are reasonable grounds to believe will engage in, or instigate, the subversion by force of the government of Egypt, and will engage in terrorism; • is, and was, a member of the VOC, which is an organization that there are reasonable grounds to believe is, or was, engaged in terrorism; and • has engaged in terrorism.

Security, Asylum, and the Rule of Law after the Certificate Trilogy Introduction Few elements of Canada’s national security apparatus have received as much legal, popular, or scholarly attention as security certificates.1 Although in existence since 1978, they have become a symbol of the heavy human rights costs associated with contemporary counter- terrorism law, policy and practices. The reasons are easy to understand. Certificates are based largely on secret evidence, allow for the indefinite detention of non-citizens who are alleged to pose a threat to the security of Canada, pave the way for the removal of persons to face the substantial risk of persecution, torture, or similar abuses, and are arguably discriminatory on the basis of citizenship.2 The certificate regime also rests on a broader assemblage of security-based policies and practices associated with several high profile human rights abuses, including those perpetrated against Maher Arar, Abdullah Almalki, and Ahmad El Maati.

Mr. Johnson was eventually pulled over at a shopping plaza in Dartmouth. The constable asked for proof of insurance and vehicle registration for Johnson’s Ford Mustang and was not satisfied with the documents offered. The officer then ticketed the driver, and ordered the car towed. In fact, Mr. Johnson’s documentation was valid under Texas law. The next day an unidentified police official determined that the seizure and towing of Mr. Johnson’s vehicle had been erroneous and ordered the car released. This case ultimately resulted in Mr. Johnson filing a compliant with the Nova Scotia Human Right’s Commission alleging racial bias and/or racial profiling by the Halifax Regional Police Service (HRP). A Human Rights Tribunal was eventually conducted, and the case was decided in December 2003 (Girard 2003). One of the remedies suggested in the Tribunal’s decision was that the Halifax Regional Police consider a study of the impact of race on traffic stops: What I would like is a proposal for how information could be provided on the role of race in traffic stops by the Halifax Regional Police.
