Since 2010, Public Safety Canada has spent $245 million on defending
government computer networks,
This spring, the CACP sent 17 police executives on an international
study mission to learn how governments in the U.S., Europe, India,
Singapore, Australia and New Zealand are grappling with cybercrime.
Right now, Public Safety Canada advises the public to contact local
police if they are a victim of cybercrime.
"People having their identity threatened, or having their computers
infected, files locked down for ransom, those types of things, the
average police station doesn't know how to respond to that," says Norm
Taylor who leads an executive training program for the Canadian
Association of Chiefs of Police.
 What is your opinion
Our group's opinion on the topic of hacking is worrying
After our full extent of research we have found that the country of Canada currently
is very eager to prevent hacking, however for Canada at the moment it is also very
hard to prevent this effect towards others.
We believe that in the future with advancements of technology we will be able to
lock down on hackers by actually being able to identify exactly who is doing the
hacking
We also agree with the amount of jail time hackers receive for violating others
