Speaker, as our lives become increasingly reliant on technology, the threat of cybercrime becomes a more significant concern that, we all understand, needs to be better addressed. Cybercrime is no longer just suspicious emails from people claiming to be your long-lost royal relatives from faraway countries. Cybercrime violates individuals’ privacy as well as their security of data. Our government must support Ontarians in identifying and avoiding digital threats.

Can the Solicitor General please share with us what our government’s plan is to increase awareness around cybercrime?

Speaker, can the Solicitor General inform this House how our government’s $1.6-million investment will translate into local support, improve cyber security and protect my constituents?
