1
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,380
NATALIE: I think it's the critical
issue of the day.

2
00:00:13,380 --> 00:00:16,720
The idea of digital is...
it spans any

3
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,130
one single department's mandate,
any single organization's authority, so

4
00:00:21,130 --> 00:00:24,260
digital gives us the chance
to work together.

5
00:00:24,260 --> 00:00:26,900
So we cannot do this
if we're not collaborating.

6
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:31,600
We can't work in a silo anymore,
if we are to be that modern digital government.

7
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,880
IMRAAN: It's a team sport here.
No one industry's going to solve this by themselves.

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,280
I look at something like digital identity,
the federal government won't solve this by itself,

9
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,480
the private sector won't solve it by
itself, the provinces won't solve it by itself.

10
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:49,180
So we're best served to work
together to fix these problems.

11
00:00:49,180 --> 00:00:51,700
How to do it?
I mean this is one of the reasons we engage

12
00:00:51,700 --> 00:00:54,120
so much in social media,
try to get our word out there.

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,640
And then I look at the way
we have partnerships with vendors.

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,320
I want that word "partnerships"
to be loud and clear.

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,940
Not just we're buying something from someone who's
selling it and the relationship's done.

16
00:01:02,940 --> 00:01:06,100
I want to see partnerships that last in
perpetuity, so we're continuously

17
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:07,400
working together to evolve.

18
00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:15,520
NATALIE: Yeah, I think by bringing private
industry and public sector participants

19
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,920
together is a huge step in that.
As Imraan said, this is about enabling,

20
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:26,400
this is about a partnership. So recognizing that
each person brings some part of the

21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,960
solution to the table, exposing it, being
open about it, sharing those lessons learned,

22
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:34,780
that's how we're gonna get
through the problem, is one practical

23
00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:37,960
application at a time.
So that's what today was for me.

24
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:40,680
IMRAAN: Yeah, I'll echo similar comments
in that, you know,

25
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,740
the sharing of lessons learned, to me,
is the most important thing.

26
00:01:42,740 --> 00:01:44,900
Why repeat the same mistake
someone else has made?

27
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:47,780
And the only way to learn from that is to talk
and be open about some of the failures

28
00:01:47,780 --> 00:01:51,560
and successes,
so we all continuously improve from that.
