Petition Text
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
• Canadians increasingly depend on online banking websites and applications to manage essential financial affairs;
• Many banking websites rely extensively on client-side web scripts, including third-party scripts, to deliver features that could alternatively be implemented using modern, standards-based HTML5 and browser-native capabilities;
• Web scripts increase the attack surface of banking platforms and are a recognized vector for data exfiltration, supply-chain compromise, session hijacking, and unauthorized manipulation of web content;
• HTML5 and related web standards provide native, script-minimal alternatives for many common functions, reducing complexity and exposure to script-based vulnerabilities; and
• The protection of Canadians’ financial and personal information is a matter of national economic security and public trust.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to: 1. Review the cybersecurity risks associated with the use of client-side web scripts on websites and applications operated by federally regulated financial institutions;
1. Review the cybersecurity risks associated with the use of client-side web scripts on websites and applications operated by federally regulated financial institutions;
2. Develop legislation, regulations, or binding standards that prioritize the elimination or strict limitation of non- essential web scripts in favour of secure, standards-based HTML5 and browser-native technologies; and
3. Require federally regulated financial institutions to adopt a “script-minimal by default” approach to digital banking to reduce systemic cyber risk and better protect Canadians.
