The aim of the National Digital and Data Consultations was to better understand how Canada can drive innovation, prepare Canadians for the future of work, and ensure they have trust and confidence in how their data is used. Held between June and October 2018, the consultations included 30 roundtable discussions hosted by six digital innovation leaders across the country, engaging with more than 550 Canadians. Through our website and online platforms, Canadians shared more than 1,900 ideas.
