1.2.5. Stakeholder and Communications Considerations Stakeholders in other sectors are aggressively pursuing options to leverage data to generate value. While the private sector is leading in this area, provinces/territories/municipalities (particularly Ontario, British Columbia, and large cities) and other national governments are making positive progress. Data use and analytics undergo waves of public interest and scrutiny, often concentrated around privacy breach incidents in the private sector. As such, transparency and effective privacy controls are central to the vision and key messages on responsible, ethical data use and public trust are an important element in an overall communications plan. ESDC’s close working relationship also positions the department to apply best practices and lessons learned from Statistics Canada’s Trust Centre.
