CIRA President & CEO Byron Holland shares his statement welcoming this decision and underscoring the importance of made-in-Canada digital services.
CIRA welcomes the decision of the Government of Canada to pursue a Canadian sovereign cloud. As a national organization that runs critical infrastructure in Canada, CIRA is well aware of the challenges businesses face when trying to build made-in-Canada digital services. Sovereign cloud computing power is not about protectionism; it is about resiliency. A resilient internet in Canada, which includes Canadian cloud services, makes us stronger and is critical to Canada’s global competitiveness. We are encouraged by the government’s foresight in this decision.
