The Canada Federation Candidate is qualified and will deliver on his Security objectives for Canada because:
Mr. Chamas has over 30 years of experience in security issues and mandates in the international financial community.
Mr. Chamas understands the evolving nature of security threats and has partnered with leaders in the global technology field who implement state of the art security in immigration, border security, cyber-security and threat management.
Mr. Chamas recognizes our need to substantially change the Canadian outlook on cyber-security and implement advanced techniques that will ensure greater protection of systems and citizens
Mr. Chamas knows that sustainable growth is not possible without security of our country and its citizens.
The 21st century challenge facing all nations is the security of its citizens. This is not only the personal protection and security, it has become more about cyber-security and protecting our digital footprint and identity. This has also extended to the cyber-security of our infrastructure and networks supporting power, banking, institutions (hospitals, schools), waterways, transportation, and crisis response.
Our vigilance in this era of hacking and misappropriation of identities, funds, services, and network-hostage tactics; has to be so forward-thinking as to anticipate the actions of the cyber-terrorists and global threats. We must have strong partnerships in the technology arena that are ready, willing and able to provide leadership in cyber-protection of our country.
Terrorism is also changing its face and threat tactics and Canada must be proactive and get ahead by using technology and its advances. Trafficking has become a crisis in and of itself. Human and Sex trafficking has been identified by United Nations Human Rights Office, as the process through which individuals are placed or maintained in an exploitative situation for economic gain.
“According to the Walk Free Foundation and ILO Global Estimates, 25 million people were subjected to forced labour and sexual exploitation in 2016 worldwide. UNODC’s 2016 Global Report on identified victims shows that 51% of victims are women, 21% men, 20% girls and 8% boys. Among those victims, 45% have been trafficked for sexual exploitation and 38% for forced labour. In recent years, trafficking has also thrived amongst populations living in or fleeing conflict situations.” This according to the OHCHR – UN.
