AFAIK it's generally the same in Canada. If a provider is aware of (reported, accidental discovery or otherwise) the existence of child pornography on their network that existence must be reported to LE and the content must be cease to be publicly available. What I've done in the past when such a report is received is created an archive of the whole directory and subdirectories in question, collected all the customer data related to the account including logs of logins and file transfers and sent that directly to law enforcement and through https://www.cybertip.ca/ <https://www.cybertip.ca/>. Some information for Canadian service providers is in the reporting system itself: https://www.cybertip.ca/app/en/service_provider_report
