In its annual report on Canada’s digital infrastructure plan, the government has revealed an expansive digital transformation strategy focused on improving “whole-of-government” service delivery. This strategy encompasses the development of a “digital credentials” and identification system.

The “Government of Canada’s Digital Ambition“ report was issued in July by the Office of the Chief Information Officer, within the Treasury Board. It offers direction for the government’s strategic approach to data management, security, privacy, and access to information.
