Question Period Notes
About this information
In accordance with the Access to Information Act, the government proactively publishes the package of question period notes that were prepared by a government institution for the minister and that were in use on the last sitting day in June and December.
The question period notes may be partially or fully redacted in accordance with the legislation; for example, if the notes contain information related to national security or personal information. (Learn more about exemptions and exclusions.)
If you find a question period note of interest, you may make an access to information request in order to obtain it.
Digital sovereignty is defined as the ability to exercise autonomy over digital infrastructure, data and intellectual property, as well as critical technologies. This protects national security, supports economic competitive and allows a country to operate independently and reduce the risks of foreign interference in the digital age. It includes:
• Data sovereignty: Ensuring data complies with national laws and remains under the jurisdiction and control of the country
• Operational sovereignty: Retaining control over how digital services are deployed and preventing reliance on, or interference from, foreign entities
• Technological sovereignty: Maintaining the ability to make independent decisions about technology without being overly dependent on monopolistic or foreigncontrolled vendors
