SO HOW ARE WE GETTING THE IMPORTANT STUFF ON-LINE?


• We have a plan for the TRANSFORMATION of Government services

• Transformation requires:• Shifting the way we manage and

share our Information• Shifting to more online services• Shifting our culture

• Transformation means doing things differently!

Citizens @ the Center


Defining Principles

1. We will empower citizens to create value from open government data.

2.We will save citizens’ time in their interaction with government and make it easier to access better quality services.

3. We will encourage collaboration in the public service because it is integral to delivering quality service to citizens.


IM/IT Enablers Strategy

• The key to Transformation is getting the “Hard Stuff” online

• The key to getting the hard stuff online is REALLY knowing who someone is online

“sign-on”

Related Stuff I’m thinking about

• UK work on Idm (NIH to DWP)• NSTIC• Canada Post DDN• ISIS• Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook• Walmart & friends• Square

• Where does Idm intersect e-Payments?



• In startup phase• Founding Board includes government, banks

and telco’s• Mandate to launch and govern a digital ID

ecosystem to support the Digital Economy– Bring together public and private sector stakeholders– Develop policies and standards for Canada that work

internationally– Speed up roll out and adoption of DIA– Spur investment & decrease e-commerce friction

Status?


• Lining up the interests– Regulators

• KYC, AML• ID fraud/organized crime/terrorism

– Financial institutions• Compliance• Competitive landscape• Move to online/mobile

– Telco’s • Dumb pipes or owners of the SE?• Consumers / providers of Digital

ID?– Device Guys

• Oh ya that NFC thing--- or not?– Governments

• Online is IMPORTANT!!!!• We do Identity!!• Leverage the infrastructure

Why this is IMPORTANT!!

There is a chance to “get it right”


Conclusion

• We can DO this!– Provinces need to issue/provide digital ID’s– The federal Government needs to embrace and LEAD

• Regulators need a way to move forward– Need standards that work in Canada and the World– Need banks to play nice (they have the payment

systems rails that the credential validation rides on)– Financial Sector needs digital ID

• Solves for KYC and AML• New competitive landscape

– If not now, then when?– If not us, then who?


• Thank You
