[Advisors] thoughts?? Canada's digital charter

[Marita Moll]

Hello advisors. Next week I am participating in a recorded video chat 
about Canada's new digital charter with 2 other Canadian NARALO members. 
I am hoping some of you here have taken a look at the charter and would 
be able to offer me some user perspectives that I can bring forward. Any 
feedback would be welcome.

  Here it is in a nutshell. The items are expanded with several options 
presented to address them at: 
https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/062.nsf/eng/h_00108.html:


      *1. Universal Access:*

All Canadians will have equal opportunity to participate in the digital 
world and the necessary tools to do so, including access, connectivity, 
literacy and skills


      *2. Safety and Security:*

Canadians will be able to rely on the integrity, authenticity and 
security of the services they use and should feel safe online.


      *3. Control and Consent:*

Canadians will have control over what data they are sharing, who is 
using their personal data and for what purposes, and know that their 
privacy is protected.


      *4. Transparency, Portability and Interoperability:*

Canadians will have clear and manageable access to their personal data 
and should be free to share or transfer it without undue burden.


      *5. Open and Modern Digital Government:*

Canadians will be able to access modern digital services from the 
Government of Canada, which are secure and simple to use.


      *6. A Level Playing Field:*

The Government of Canada will ensure fair competition in the online 
marketplace to facilitate the growth of Canadian businesses and affirm 
Canada's leadership on digital and data innovation, while protecting 
Canadian consumers from market abuses.


      *7. Data and Digital for Good:*

The Government of Canada will ensure the ethical use of data to create 
value, promote openness and improve the lives of people—at home and 
around the world.


      *8. Strong Democracy:*

The Government of Canada will defend freedom of expression and protect 
against online threats and disinformation designed to undermine the 
integrity of elections and democratic institutions.


      *9. Free from Hate and Violent Extremism:*

Canadians can expect that digital platforms will not foster or 
disseminate hate, violent extremism or criminal content.


      *10. Strong Enforcement and Real Accountability:*

There will be clear, meaningful penalties for violations of the laws and 
regulations that support these principles.
