Senate Committee Reviews Cybersecurity Amendments to Telecommunications Act
The Standing Senate Committee on National Security, Defence and Veterans Affairs convened to discuss Bill C-26, focusing on cybersecurity and the Telecommunications Act. During the session, drafting errors in the bill were identified, prompting a decision to delay clause-by-clause review for a week. This delay presents potential implications for the ICT sector, particularly regarding regulatory compliance and security protocols. The committee's decision to move discussions in camera suggests significant amendments may be forthcoming, which could affect telecommunications providers and cybersecurity practices.
