The minister's mandate letter does talk about “core and at-risk”. There is no formal definition in policy, but this could generally be understood as being systems that support significant and important services and systems that are aging, as a result of which we could potentially have outages, or we might have a limited capacity to update them and meet policy objectives because of the aging systems. This is something that's been put in the mandate letter. While there's no formal definition of this, there is within policy a definition around “critical services”. Those are generally defined as the ones that have an impact on the economy and the health and safety of Canadians.
We've now launched an exercise where we're trying to more systematically identify them. We have some information around application health. Recently, the clerk established a DM committee on core services. The minister, as well as this committee, will be working to more systematically identify those larger systems that are aging and at risk. We do need to know the number.
