Justice and Law Enforcement, National Security/Security	"Proposal to Amend Canadian Law: Recognizing Cybercrime as Cyber-Terrorism" Cybercrime has evolved into a direct threat to national security, economic stability, and public safety, often blurring the lines between traditional crime and digital warfare. This proposal advocates for amending the Criminal Code of Canada to classify certain cybercrimes—such as large-scale cryptocurrency fraud, human trafficking networks, and terrorism financing—as acts of cyber-terrorism. Key reforms include expanding the legal definition of terrorism to encompass cyber-enabled attacks, recognizing cyber-privateering as state-supported digital crime, imposing harsher penalties for cyber-terrorism offenses, and establishing a dedicated Cyber-Terrorism Task Force equipped with advanced blockchain analysis tools and international cooperation frameworks. These measures will empower law enforcement, enhance accountability for perpetrators, and position Canada as a global leader in combating the escalating threats of the digital age.	Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution
Taxation and Finance	Proposed Policy Action: The Canadian Government could establish a financial recovery office dedicated to cybercrime victims, providing expert assistance on tax relief, debt resolution, and insolvency cases designate the regulation around "Bad Debt" to be intigrated for Cybercrime Victims. Additionally, implementing tax incentives or credits for losses directly attributable to fraud could alleviate the financial burden on victims, while promoting reporting and transparency.	Policies or Program
Health, Justice and Law Enforcement	Proposed Policy Action: The Canadian Government could integrate mental health assessments for cybercrime victims as a standard component of federal victim services programs including private Cybercrime Victim Services. By providing access to free or subsidized counselling, the government can ensure victims receive timely support, mitigating long-term psychological harm. This program could mirror existing mental health frameworks for other victims of crime, with a focus on trauma-informed care tailored to the unique impacts of cybercrime including suicide prevention.	Policies or Program
Financial Institutions, Justice and Law Enforcement	Proposed Policy Action: The government could fund and support our specialized independant cybercrime victim units equipped with blockchain analysis tools like Chainalysis to trace and recover stolen cryptocurrency. Public-private partnerships could be fostered to enhance investigative capacity, while grants for private investigators working on behalf of victims would bolster resource availability and speed up case resolution.
