Good morning, Mr. Chair and honourable members of the committee. Thank you for this opportunity to speak to you today.
We've made significant progress in the implementation of the national technology onboarding program, which is the main caveat to meeting all of the recommendations from the OPC. Every technology will be assessed, not only from the privacy aspect but also from a bias, ethics and legal perspective, before being used in any operation or investigation going forward.
As per the recommendation, we have until June 2022 to implement the program, so we still have a bit of time. We're working very hard right now to complete that. There's a slight risk that not all the training will be given by that time frame, and we may have a capacity issue, because we're having challenges with recruitment of additional resources within the program. However, the key foundation pieces for that program will be in place by June 2022.
