<h3>Role of data and the digitization of government </h3>

~~<!--~~<p>~~Description~~</p~~>--~~>

+

<p>Data is the fuel and digitized processes are the engine; they are interdependent and the drivers of change worldwide. Harnessing the power of this interdependency allows federal organizations to improve operational efficiencies, innovate how they work, and improve the way they engage with Canadians. As this interdependency increases, the Government of Canada must demonstrate that the use of data and digitized processes adhere to sound governance that includes transparency and accountability, while protecting privacy and fostering trust.</p>
