Canada's new "Policy on Service and Digital" outlines the future direction of government services, with blockchain technology and artificial intelligence being the technology of choice to help drive digital transformation in government. Canadian Digital Government Minister Joyce Murray said:

• Libra wants ICO? Be wary: Beware of the scam of the Libra hotspot
• After excavating a large block of 210 MB, the BSV suddenly appeared in the "three-chain separation" situation.
• Getting started with blockchain | Exchange's official smart brick arbitrage? Is money really so profitable?

“By using modern means to operate the government while improving our ability to innovate and experiment with new technologies and solutions such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, Canadians will be able to access easy-to-use, safe and high-quality government services, most importantly The entire government service will be centered around the client. We are working quietly to be truly customer-centric in design and delivery, and to provide better services to Canadians."

The policy will take effect in April 2020, so government agencies will have time to prepare to meet their requirements.

The private sector in Canada is actively embracing the blockchain

A survey conducted by Deloitte in 2018 found that Canadian companies are the world's most friendly companies in the blockchain. More than 1,000 executives with annual revenues of $500 million or more participated in the survey.

51% of Canadian company executives said their company is currently investing in blockchain technology, compared with only 24% in the US.
