What we have seen in the pandemic in particular is that governments, not only the Government of Canada but governments writ large, call on the private sector to develop digital programs in order to deliver services. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but what we see is that there is an increasing interaction between the public and private sectors in terms of the management of data.
Again, that's not a bad thing. It needs to be properly regulated according to known criteria, and be the subject of investigation when the case arises, but there are certainly other departments that do this.
