Just as a quick refresher, the government had already begun this effort, in some ways, with the consultations that we led on the overall development of the innovation and skills plan. That identified data and digital as an important pillar of work related to the functioning of the modern economy, so a secondary public, open consultation on data and digital was held on specific pillars, one related to privacy and trust. That netted a significant amount of feedback, which then resulted in the digital charter and its 10 principles.
When the digital charter was released, a subsequent consultation was held on specific proposals related to the modernization of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, or PIPEDA. That feedback then informed what ultimately became the bill—first Bill C-11, and then this bill.
Since this bill was tabled, in June 2022, we've had more than 300 discussions with key stakeholders across the continuum to make sure that we are continuing to understand their understanding of the bill and also things related to it that they think are important.
