Privacy Frameworks and data for public good

Video | English transcript

In May 2020, Chantal Bernier wrote about how Canada has a framework to provide privacy protection while also collecting data.

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 digital processes adhere to sound governance that includes transparency and accountability, while protecting privacy and fostering trust.</p>
