We're working to strengthen Canada's sovereignty and economic prosperity through smart policy for the 21st century.

This week Shield's Matthew da Mota presented to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Science and Research, about the importance of strategically protecting Canadian dual-use technology.

The first step for understanding our vulnerabilities is looking clearly at cloud systems, and understanding how the data flows.

It's not about where the servers are located. It's about the governance. https://t.co/ysCxMCYf9l

Today we're publishing Chapter 5 of our policy series on digital sovereignty. This week we're looking at cloud security, and the way that foreign powers can interfere with Canadian data.

So that's the big picture: For Canada to assert meaningful digital sovereignty, we need governance strategies for data, IP, and technical standards.

We also need to understand our vulnerabilities clearly, in order to address them.

This week, in Chapter 4 of Foundations of Digital Sovereignty, we're talking about the value of data, and the role of governance in the digital economy.

We need to reframe the terms of how data is used, to protect Canadians from exploitation:

And now today we are releasing Chapter 4, on data governance. Data is arguably the most pervasive and powerful factor of the 21st century global economy.

If Canada isn't meaningfully governing how data is used, we're not governing the digital realm.

Chapter 3 of Foundations of Digital Sovereignty looks at intellectual property, which is a key system for technology companies to maintain their dominance and market control.

Canada's national IP strategy is sorely lacking.

Intellectual property is a key governance structure for the 21st century digital economy.

If Canada is going to meaningfully assert our digital sovereignty, we need a better national IP strategy.

Surveillance pricing uses your data to predict what you’ll pay. Ontario’s opposition wants it banned, but Premier Doug Ford says no. How can consumers protect themselves? @JeyanTVO asks @VassB (@CanSHIELDInst) tonight at 8pm | Producer: Mike Attenborough

Standards are hard, but important! This a good read on 'em from Canadian Shield!
