Overview
The Provincial Government is considering legislation regarding digital technology and its use by government departments and government’s agencies, boards, and commissions. Digital technology includes online digital services, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). Led by the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), public consultations are required to help inform this decision.
