Bill C-8 / CCSPA - Urgent Current Information

Bill C-8 passed third reading in the House of Commons on March 26, 2026. It is now before the Senate. Once Royal Assent is granted, designated operators have 90 days to establish a cybersecurity program. Incident reporting to the CSE is required within 72 hours of discovery. Penalties reach $15 million per day for organizations.

What Bill C-8 Requires

Designated operators in federally regulated sectors (telecom, banking, nuclear, pipelines, transportation) must: (1) establish a cybersecurity program within 90 days of designation; (2) include supply chain and vendor risk assessment in that program; (3) report incidents to the CSE within 72 hours; (4) comply with cybersecurity directions issued by government.
