Vaccine Rollout Data Senator Marshall ITEM 1: Vaccine Rollout Data Senator Marshall: Thank you. Is there somebody here who can talk about the vaccine roll outs? I saw Major-General Fortin testify at a Commons health committee last week and he was talking about the roll out. Is there somebody here who can talk about the roll out? I understand that there is a monitoring of the vaccines and the roll out in the various provinces, and there is information available with regard to how Canada is doing in relation to other countries, but is there a ranking for provinces like what is available for countries? Is there something on one of your websites? Ms. Levesque: Thank you. We do publish data on our website about the roll out itself, both doses delivered and doses administered in each jurisdiction. As you know, it is a provincial- territorial responsibility to administer the vaccines, but we do track those on our website and we watch them carefully. We don’t do a ranking across the board. It is reported by jurisdiction. Senator Marshall: Is it disclosed so that I can tell which jurisdiction is slow and which jurisdiction is leading the pack? Ms. Levesque: There are myriad factors underpinning each jurisdiction’s vaccine roll out, but that information is publicly available, senator. We can make sure to provide the website in writing to the chair of the committee afterwards, or to the Senate. Senator Elizabeth Marshall (Conservative Party, Newfoundland and Labrador) Official: Kaili Levesque (Vice President, PHAC) RESPONSE: The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) publishes data on the number of vaccine doses administered and on vaccine coverage. The number of doses administered (https://health- infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccine-administration/) and vaccine coverage (https://health- infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccination-coverage/) are broken down by province and territory. RÉSPONSE: L’agence de la santé publique du Canada (ASPC) publie des données sur le nombre de doses de vaccin administrées et sur la couverture vaccinale. Le nombre de doses administrées (https://sante-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccins-administres/) et la couverture vaccinale (https://sante-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/couverture-vaccinale/) sont ventilés par province et territoire. ITEM 2: Vaccine Rollout in Indigenous Communities Senator Duncan: I would like to ask, in terms of a specific question, about the data management that’s outlined in the Public Health Agency of Canada’s supplementary request. There is money for investment in testing, contact tracing and data management. Could you elaborate on that money, particularly in terms of under-served areas of the country, with regard to internet or those provinces and territories that did not sign on to the Government of Canada’s COVID-19 tracing app? Could you elaborate on that funding and how well it’s working throughout the country? Ms. Levesque: Good morning, senator. Thank you for your question. The specific amount that you were referencing under what are called the safe restart agreements, where $522 million was made available to provinces and territories specifically for data, is not tied to the use of the COVID alert app itself, to be clear. It’s more about the collection of public health data to understand the epidemiology of this tricky virus, as well as the tracking of the immunization, case counts, et cetera. It’s that level of data that we are discussing. And we are also collecting data on the immunization rollout itself, in addition to reports on adverse events or any of the information shared with the Public Health Agency of Canada through the provinces and territories. So it’s not linked to individual use at the mobile device level. Thank you. Senator Duncan: What are we doing with that data? Are we able to access it in a public manner? Are we able to be assured, for example, that vaccine rollout is taking place in Indigenous communities and throughout the country? Are we able to track that information? Could I have that response in writing? Senator Pat Duncan (ISG, Yukon) Official: N/A RESPONSE: PHAC currently receives data on COIVD-19 vaccination in Indigenous communities from some provinces and territories. The number of doses administered (https://health- infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccine-administration/) and vaccine coverage (https://health- infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccination-coverage/) are broken down by province and territory. PHAC in collaboration with Statistics Canada is implementing the Canadian Vaccination Coverage Survey in March and it is expected that this survey will provide data on COVID-19 vaccine coverage in Indigenous communities. RÉSPONSE: L’ASPC reçoit actuellement des données sur la vaccination contre la COVID-19 dans les communautés autochtones de certaines provinces et certains territoires. Le nombre de doses administrées (https://sante-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccins-administres/) et la couverture vaccinale (https://sante-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/couverture-vaccinale/) sont ventilés par province et territoire. L’ASPC, en collaboration avec Statistique Canada, met en œuvre l’enquête canadienne sur la couverture vaccinale en mars et on s’attend à ce qu’elle fournisse des données sur la couverture vaccinale contre la COVID-19 dans les communautés autochtones. ITEM 6: COVID Alert App Data Senator Klyne: I just want to follow up on the line of thinking from Senator Duncan. In the supplementary estimates, the Public Health Agency is requesting $523 million for the Safe Restart Agreement with provinces and territories for investments in testing, contact tracing and data management. In addition, if I understand correctly, there is a request for a further $485 million to study alternative or better strategies for contact tracing. The federal government put a lot of emphasis on and resources into the exposure notification app. Now there seems to be a focus on contact tracing. I have two questions, one around the exposure notification app and then a second line on contact tracing. With regards to the exposure notification app, can you tell this committee how many times that app has been downloaded? How many exposure alerts have been sent to users? How many users have entered a key code indicating they have tested positive for COVID and got a warning from the app? What has been invested in the exposure notification app to date? Then I’ll ask about the contact tracing. Mr. Krumins: Thank you for your question, senator. I would like to get back to the committee in writing with that response. I believe there is a component that resides with my colleagues at Health Canada. Senator Marty Klyne: (PSG, Saskatchewan) Official: Martin Krumins (CFO, PHAC) RESPONSE: As of Monday, March 8, 2021, there have been 6,361,424 downloads of the COVID Alert app and 21,048 users have entered a one-time-key indicating that they have tested positive for COVID-19. With the introduction of in-app metrics, data will be available in the coming weeks for the number of notifications stemming from the entry of one-time keys. The Government of Canada has benefited from the collaborative efforts of many partners to develop and promote the app. This includes the volunteer work of Shopify employees, in coordination with the nonprofit Linux Foundation Public Health, who developed the code, and Blackberry employees who provided additional security reviews. The Canadian Digital Service, within the Treasury Board Secretariat, is providing in-house technical expertise. The incremental cost incurred by the Canadian Digital Service to develop the app at the time it was launched in July 2020 was $480,000, which included surge staffing capacity, overtime costs, cloud infrastructure costs, and other costs such as testing equipment and security support to that point in time. The federal government has worked to implement a robust public awareness campaign with the goal of increasing the number of downloads and use of the app. The Government of Canada anticipates spending up to $16 million in the fiscal year 2020-21 across Canada to raise awareness and help increase uptake of the COVID Alert app by Canadians. RÉSPONSE: En date du lundi 8 mars 2021, l’application Alerte COVID a été téléchargée 6 361 424 fois et 21 048 utilisateurs ont entré une clé à usage unique indiquant qu’ils ont obtenu un résultat positif pour la COVID-19. Avec l’introduction de mesures incorporées à l’application, nous aurons les données pour le nombre de notifications découlant de l’entrée de clés à usage uniques dans les prochaines semaines. Le gouvernement du Canada a bénéficié des efforts de collaboration de nombreux partenaires pour élaborer et promouvoir l’application. Cela comprend le travail bénévole des employés de Shopify, en coordination avec le Linux Foundation Public Health à but non lucratif, qui a conçu le code, et les employés de BlackBerry qui ont fourni des examens de sécurité supplémentaires. Le Service numérique canadien, au sein du Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor, fournit une expertise technique interne. Au moment de son lancement en juillet 2020, le Service numérique canadien a engagé des coûts supplémentaires de 480 000 $, qui comprenaient la capacité de personnel supplémentaire, les heures supplémentaires, les coûts d’infrastructure infonuagique et d’autres coûts, comme les essais d’équipement et le soutien de la sécurité à ce moment-là. Le gouvernement fédéral a travaillé à la mise en œuvre d’une solide campagne de sensibilisation du public dans le but d’augmenter le nombre de téléchargements et l’utilisation de l’application. Le gouvernement du Canada prévoit dépenser jusqu’à 16 millions de dollars en 2020-2021 dans l’ensemble du Canada pour sensibiliser les Canadiens et les aider à faire mieux connaître l’application Alerte COVID. ITEM 7: P/T Contact Tracing Senator Klyne: So that’s also going to be referred to Health Canada.

  • April 10, 2019 Bill C-69 – Impact Assessment Act
    April 10, 2019 Bill C-69 – Impact Assessment Act Standing Senate Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources The Senate of Canada Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A4 Dear Committee Members, On behalf of the membership of the NSBA, I am writing to submit comments regarding the Standing Senate Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources’ study of Bill C-69, the Impact Assessment Act. The NSBA has strong concerns about the suitability of this Bill to move the project assessment process forward such that project proponents have the certainty necessary to proceed with their project and the Canadian public has the peace of mind that the public interest is being safeguarded. The NSBA is a member-driven and focused organization that serves, promotes, and protects business throughout Saskatoon and beyond. Although our grassroots and origins consisted of a handful of businesses from Saskatoon's north industrial area, today’s NSBA is much more than that. We have a vibrant, growing membership in excess of 750 companies in industries and sectors spanning the regional economy. Within our membership is a large concentration of owner-managed businesses, founded and overseen by entrepreneurs. Many of our members are also involved in industries or supply chains that will be directly affected by Bill C-69. As a matter of principle, the NSBA supports the implementation of a regulatory process for large projects that balances the economics of the project with environmental protection and stakeholder consultation. We also understand that a system that meets these diverse needs in such a way that provides concrete timelines to project proponents is hard to implement properly and that Bill C-69 is an attempt to solve this problem.
