25. Outsourcing and security issue

Outsourcing is to save money in operating cost. However, some industry's data must stay within Canada's borders. I don't under estimate malicious hackers. Within our borders would make their hacking activities harder, it does not mean "free of attacks".

è Hackers must come to Canada’s soil, if all messages intended within Canada’s borders rejected by the international exchanges. According to spreading of electrical signals, all messages would spread beyond our border and relayed around the world, if not rejected or not to relay at our international Internet and telecommunication exchanges.

I remembered Infosys got outsource contracts for an important industry [health care probably]. They took databases and servers to USA, and then outsource those to Asia. In either case, when a user accesses the service, data is spreading everywhere [worse case is in Asia where data is puling across continents]. Malicious hackers don't even need to enter Canada to wiretap transmission lines or attempt to hack.

At least banks, health care, and government databases and servers must stay in our soil.

Treaties are there for other government investigators, who want data on suspects or criminals. Nobody should unofficially hack others that would create chaotic in public sooner or later.

Government agencies have policy to purge user data, which was not their target. They may come and then figure out they were wrong. Government agencies would leave, but hackers and insane would exploit all possible scenarios.

* September 28, 2017: An example about Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) and its Canadian clients, RBC would keep its servers in Canada. Canadian could access their account with RBC using the web services. All data would be pulled from RBC servers and stayed within Canada border. The "pulled" messages may reach the International Internet Exchange in Canada, but the exchange would ignore those messages as those destined for a terminal within Canada.

If the same Canadian client travelled aboard, e.g. USA, he would also be able to access his RBC account using the web service. However, his data would be pulled across Canada border to his location in USA. Along the transmission path, his data may be spread worldwide.

RBC could have a subsidy in USA for their US clients, thus they could have a separate server in USA for their US clients.
