Senators call for digital policy minister | Canada | News | Toronto Sun

Senators are calling on the federal government to create a minister of digital policy to spend billions of dollars expanding broadband access and create digital identification for every Canadian.

The Senate’s report, Plan for A Digital Canada, began as an investigation into the wireless industry but ended up with a call to roll out a digital development plan for the whole country.

... The report also calls on Elections Canada to swiftly start testing e-registration and e-voting technology, and for the feds to seriously look into building a digital ID system so Canada could “have a viable, comprehensive and secure digital society.” --->>>
