Ensuring that telecommunications networks are secure, resilient and innovation-focused requires global collaboration. That's why the Government of Canada is working with international partners to ensure Canadians will continue to have access to secure and reliable telecom services and the latest wireless technologies.
Today, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, announced that Canada has joined the United States, Australia, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Sweden, and the United Kingdom in endorsing a Joint Statement of Principles for 6G, the next generation of wireless technologies. These shared principles for the research and development of 6G wireless communication systems will support open, free, global, interoperable, reliable, resilient, and secure connectivity.
The government will continue to work with telecommunications companies and its partners to improve the reliability of Canada's telecommunications networks and ensure Canadians have access to the latest wireless technologies as the telecommunications industry develops 6G in the years ahead.
