Thank you for that question.
We are transforming many of our services in the digital space right now. Talent is a challenge for both private and public sectors—attracting talent, building capacity—and, of course, working directly with stakeholders is a really important cornerstone of our approach.
We, the Government of Canada, have a digital talent strategy that is focused on designing approaches, tools, and processes to recruit, retain and develop top digital talent in the federal public sector. This strategy includes initiatives like creating an enterprise digital community culture, centralizing and prioritizing recruitment efforts, training and re-skilling existing digital talent, allowing for digital talent to work in modern ways from a technology and process perspective and working with industry on development opportunities like apprenticeships and short-term exchanges.
Another one is on collaborations, like the IT apprenticeship program for indigenous peoples, which helps address employment gaps for first nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in the IT field.
I have to also mention that this talent strategy is embedded into a digital ambition that the government has brought forward, which has four pillars. If you'd like to at some point to discuss that digital ambition, it's really important, because we will need to continue to transform our services in the digital space.
