From July 2020 to February 2021, the Minister of Digital Government met with 60 stakeholders from the private sector, academia and various levels of government from across the country and around the world through a series of roundtables to talk about how the government can most effectively accelerate the move to digital. These conversations have helped shape the strategy and will inform the government's continued efforts. Ongoing engagement with digital government stakeholders will inform future iterations of the Digital Government Strategy. Under the strategy, the work is organized into four areas:
Work in these four areas will ensure the Government of Canada complements its existing in-person services with convenient, seamless digital services that are easier to access for citizens and businesses.
