La France espère pénétrer le marché canadien de l’aéronautique et de la défense

« En ce moment tout le monde regarde [...] le passage du CSeries à l'A220 chez Airbus », a déclaré, le 2 mars, le président du GIFAS, Éric Trappier, lors d'un point de presse en marge d'un événement réunissant 250 représentants du secteur des deux pays, France et Canada, qui se tenait à Montréal, dans le cadre de la mission industrielle du GIFAS au Canada. « C'est un métier difficile [où il faut savoir concilier les facteurs] techniques, commerciaux et financiers, a-t-il poursuivi. Ce n'est pas tout d'avoir des succès techniques. Il faut aussi pouvoir les financer. Et pour les financer, il faut pouvoir les vendre. » La mission du GIFAS espère notamment convaincre le gouvernement fédéral de ne pas toujours seulement regarder du côté des États-Unis lorsque vient le temps de faire ses dépenses militaires.

    DEFENDING DEMOCRACY EVENT SUMMARY - Confronting Cyber Threats

    Over the past decade, the cyber security of elections and democratic institutions has become a critical issue both at home and globally. Canadian elections have proved to be relatively robust so far. Be that as it may, in 2017 Canada's Communications Security Establishment reported a series of major threats to the country's electoral system, including media manipulation and data privacy. Moreover, the urgency of addressing cyber security is clear from incidences of interference in countries as diverse as the United States, Kenya, Estonia and Latvia. This day-long workshop sponsored by the Royal Military College of Canada, SERENE-RISC, the CDA Institute and the Telfer School brought scholars and experts in the field together at the University of Ottawa to explore the range of security challenges posed by new and emerging technology, what solutions are out there and what role Canada's defence community can play in combating these new threats. The CDA Institute provided rapporteurs to record the day's proceedings and their summaries can be found here. https://cdainstitute.ca/17931/
