Summary
"The resilience of Canada’s critical infrastructure is dependent on the ability of owners and operators to respond to a rapidly-evolving risk landscape. To address this evolving risk environment, the National Cross Sector Forum 2018-2020 Action Plan for Critical Infrastructure (the Action Plan) sets out tangible initiatives that promote a collaborative approach among governments and critical infrastructure sectors to identify and manage risks before they lead to disruptions. The Action Plan is a blueprint to implement Canada’s National Strategy for Critical Infrastructure (the National Strategy). Approved by Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers responsible for Emergency Management in 2010, the National Strategy defines critical infrastructure as the processes, systems, facilities, technologies, networks, assets, and services essential to the health, safety, security or economic well-being of Canadians and the effective functioning of government" -- Introduction, p. 1.
