Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In its digital operations strategic plan 2018-22, the federal government recognized the need to modernize its aging at-risk IT infrastructure and systems. It also indicated that its “IT systems and assets that have been in service beyond their normal useful life will fail to meet the current and emerging requirements for the delivery of timely and critical services and information to Canadians”.
For the minister, in your mandate letter, the Prime Minister asked you to identify “all core and at-risk IT systems and platforms”. Has the federal government modernized its at-risk infrastructure and systems since the beginning of the pandemic? If so, what is the estimated cost of updating all identified core and at-risk IT systems and platforms?
