We will all have to keep an watchful eye on the legislation and the vendors "Through changes to the Telecommunications Act, the bill would give the government legal authority to order any necessary action to secure Canada's telecom systems. This would include prohibiting Canadian companies from using products and services from high-risk suppliers." ... I can see that vendors who cannot show good faith in Canada or the U.S. being shunned by the industry, the growing need to do due diligence cannot be understated. If you have a project with partners outside of the North American and Western European Umbrella I suggest reviewing their relations with foriegn countries noted as Security Threats. Although the technology may meet or exceed the requirements of on the technology side, we have to be aware of the larger threat to security arising from such products and services. Outsourcing of technological work should also be reconsidered, who has the keys to the kingdom is about soveriegnty in many ways. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/mandatory-reporting-of-cyberattacks-expected-in-security-bill-coming-today-1.5945758?fbclid=IwAR30BvK0BeneYUCW444NTgW2Q8VVS9GOgRTM_GZaCchHmDgUAQmTs8MXmGE
