1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,780
NATALIE: We cannot do this if
we're not collaborating.

2
00:00:03,780 --> 00:00:09,080
We can't work in a silo anymore if we are
to be that modern digital government.

3
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,900
The Government of Canada has been really working
to move towards a digital government.

4
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:21,580
Get off that old, aging technology
and embrace cloud.

5
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:28,840
HOLLY: We have to learn to do things better, easier,
faster and especially more citizen focussed.

6
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,440
That's the expectation of
government these days.

7
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,080
BOB: Conferences just like this today
are really important, right,

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,180
because it brings together people
and opens the apex.

9
00:00:39,180 --> 00:00:40,400
You get great ideas.

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,580
You get the energy and the feedback and see
successes being delivered around the world.

11
00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:51,980
MICHAEL: I was the chair for the day here at the event
which was incredible.

12
00:00:51,980 --> 00:00:57,479
A lot of talk about culture and mindset and
how do we take a more citizen-centric approach.

13
00:00:57,479 --> 00:00:59,399
You know, what do they actually need?

14
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,780
What are they maybe used to in other industries
that they don't see in public sector?

15
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,980
VIK: My view of the world is nobody knows everything
and everybody knows something.

16
00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:12,360
So I really found this to be
an interesting event.

17
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,660
Lots of opportunities for people to come together
to share knowledge and ultimately build

18
00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:19,300
these longstanding communities of practice
which ultimately can help elevate

19
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:21,600
everybody's collective game.

20
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,160
LAURIE: The biggest theme
that I've seen is

21
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,520
how are people going to do things
better, faster, smarter.

22
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,820
It's really been a collaborative discussion
amongst the different agencies.

23
00:01:31,820 --> 00:01:33,799
It's been pretty cool.

24
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,509
CHRIS: You've created a platform where people who
are doing innovative things in government

25
00:01:37,509 --> 00:01:39,600
can show what they're doing.

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,600
The speakers are great.

27
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,660
The topics are right on and you've created
a place where people can tell their story.

28
00:01:47,180 --> 00:01:49,270
ELIZABETH: Today has been
a great success.

29
00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:51,260
We're all facing either
the same challenges

30
00:01:51,260 --> 00:01:53,500
or we have the same
opportunities ahead of us.

31
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:58,260
So it was really great and I think it's an
important day to come together.
