Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Information & Ethics committee Absolutely not. To clarify even more, even approximate locations and time-stamps are not a level of data we share with the agency. It's further aggregated, either by the geographic range and larger populations where the device was found, or over time periods of a minimum of 24 hours.

Information & Ethics committee That's correct. The dashboard, to be clear, includes only our summary metrics, not the original data, but yes, they do have access to that data via the dashboard.

Alex Demarsh
Information & Ethics committee Sure. Through the chair to the honourable member, on the first question, we provide analytic reports of population-level mobility metrics via reports like the one you reviewed. We additionally make the same kind of metrics available through a dashboard that the agency can use to view the same kind of analysis directly themselves.

Information & Ethics committee Just to clarify, do you mean the contents of the dashboard we shared with the agency?
February 17th, 2022Committee meeting
Alex Demarsh
Information & Ethics committee Certainly. Yes. We can follow up in writing with a sample that would inform you of the contents of the dashboard.

Information & Ethics committee Dr. Khan, unless you'd like to jump in, I'd be happy to take this one.

Alex Demarsh
Information & Ethics committee To start, every question we're seeking to answer is about populations. These data are only useful in so far as they inform us indirectly about average contact rates in populations. We have no interest in individual devices. The information's only useful in aggregate. The data are de-identified, so in most cases they're pre-aggregated metrics and summary statistics about those populations.
