The intent of Telus' Data for Good and the program was to help PHAC understand and fight this pandemic. From where I'm sitting, it sounds to me that tremendous care has been taken by Telus's Data for Good to make sure the data is de-identified, which certainly is reassuring to me and is reassuring to Canadians now that you've just described the very rigorous process for certification.
From what I understand, the data that was collected from Telus's Data for Good was supervised and reviewed before it was released. It was then posted each week on PHAC's website, so there was a level of transparency with Canadians of this data, which I think also seems very beneficial as we communicate with the public why this information is so important in managing the pandemic and using data as a tool.
Can you speak to how the Data for Good program supported the COVID 19 response from your perspective of being engaged in this search process with PHAC?
