The announcement was made without any new funding attached, but the minister who oversees many of these organizations is vowing that they will have the cash they need to do the job. We announced Canada's Cyber Security Strategy last year with new funding of 750M. Action against foreign interference is a key part of the package. During the interview, Goodale did not reference this specific funding amount, but said he is currently in the process of making sure that agencies like the RCMP have enough support. Agencies like the RCMP and CSE are receiving major allocations, Goodale said in a tweet on Saturday. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
